Toothpaste : Some people react to some of the ingredients in toothpaste. Sodium laurel sulfate ( a foaming agent) is one that is often the culprit. Look for a toothpastes without this ingredient ==.

Ingredient: Your body chemistry will react differently than the next person's body chemistry to the ingredients in various toothpaste. Sodium laurel sulfate, a foaming agent, may be the ingredient you take issue with. Try different brands until you find one you are happy with. Just make sure toothpaste contains fluoride to help fight cavities.
