Canker sores.: Stress will increase canker sore outbreaks. So will trauma, highly acidic foods and vitamin deficiencies. Canker sores are not well understood. Many people are sensitive to sls, sodium lauryl sulfate, a common ingredient in toothpaste. Try using an sls free toothpaste. This may help.
