Toothpastes burns my mouth!

[sfbaygirl]

At times I have a real problem with spicy foods, even salt. My mouth starts burning and it really hurts. Lately the toothpaste, colgate and aquafresh burn my mouth so much that it takes several minutes after brushing for it to stop. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear you cannot eat your favorite foods. Or brush your teeth with your usual toothpaste.  I hear ya. I switched to Crest Cinnimon Rush toothpaste and I can tolorate that . I cannot not eat things with tomatoes sauce either,   mexican or spicy.  Also tangy things , like lemonade, orange juice or citrus.  I tried to eat a piece of pink grapefruit the other day, and that burned too.   The blisters on the roof of my mouth went away, and determined that was from sweet tarts., so no more of those.  

Yesterday was my birthday, and when I woke up , Mike was standing at the side of my bed, holding a carvel Ice Cream Cake.. mmmmmm    He sent me flowers at work twice last week.. Valentines and then on Friday for my birthday.  They are sooo beautiful .  Then my step daughter came over and straightened up the house and took me for lunch.   By the time we got back here , I was ready for nap.   I layed down and felt my lips were really hot.  Took my temperature and was at 101.9 again, last saturday after shot was at 102.5.  Had to take a cool shower to cool down.  I take the shot on friday nite, and by saturday, I am usually hanging close to home in my PJ's.    Try the Cinnimon toothpaste..

I started using different "sensitive" teeth toothpastes to find what was best and Colgate for sensitive teeth had the best flavor, didn't burn and has a whitening agent in it also. so now that is all I use.

I just picked it up at the local pharmacy. My mouth was so sensitive to just about anything, just like you described (even salty food). And I usually love hot and spicey foods, even jalapenos and thai chili peppers.  Anyway, I didn't know about Biotene ahead of time, I just looked around on the shelves at the pharmacy and found it. And if you can't find it locally, just google it and I'm sure you'll find a zillion places online selling it. In the meantime, I'd suspect brushing with baking soda would be pretty mild. Plus it would neutralize the acids that normally eat away your teeth (which are a waste product of the bacteria in plaque eating sugars).

I was doing the ensure before, had a hard time getting it down. The Dietician at my clinic suggested Carnation Instant breakfast. I mix it with whole milk and i only use the vanilla. I think it is avaliable in the U.S. It is also alot cheaper than Ensure and has more vitimans and stuff. It kinda taste like Vanilla "metal" to me. Not as strong as "Chocolate metal". All kidding aside, when you find something that works....do it. We need our strength to fight this.

I have the same problem. I bought Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash, which is specifically for dry mouth and is very gentle. I can't say it really helps that much with dry mouth, but it doesn't burn like ordinary toothpaste and alcohol based mouthwash.

Where can you get Biotene?
