Dear Dr. Ellie: My dentist (who does recommend Zellies), tells me I have "sluffing" of the mouth walls, and certain toothpastes and mouthwashes exacerbate this condition. What toothpastes/mouthwashes do you recommend that can be used with this condition?
Thanks for your response! JW Dear JW:
I would advise you to AVOID most toothpastes out there! AVOID : The Crest pro-health line AVOID Any pastes containing baking soda, peroxide or for tartar control. AVOID any pastes for sensitive teet, or pastes that contain triclosan ( Colgate Total)....
I recommend the Crest Regular Original paste as my number one choice. Closys toothpaste (available in Walgreens would be a second choice).
I suggest getting granular xylitol and mixing one teaspoon in a bottle of water - to sip all day. In addition - after meals and snacks and drinks - eat Zellies mints or gum - the xylitol is anti fungal and will help you heal this condition in about a week.
Finally it is very important to swish the head of your toothbrush in some Listerine every day.....rinse the brush off under running water and store the brush in a cup so that the head of the brush air- dries ( away from a toilet or other brushes that my be infected).
Toothbrushes carry molds and bacteria and these can transfer from one brush to another. If your bathroom is damp - you may want to keep your toothbrush in the kitchen.
Hope this helps - I would love to know how quickly your mouth condition improves ! Ellie
