Squigle Enamel Saver Toothpaste – SLS Free, 36% Xylitol, Canker Sore Relief, Cavity Prevention, Perioral Dermatitis, Bad Breath, 4oz (1 Pack)

Who knew...A toothpaste that controls canker sores!!! I was really skeptical but desperate. I took a chance and it has changed my life 100%. Anyone who has had even one canker sore knows it controls your entire life. All the at home treatments/remedies do not work. THIS DOES!This is a really large tube of toothpaste that lasts a long time. It has a fresh, minty smell and taste. The paste, itself, is a little on the more liquid side but it does not run off your toothbrush. It stays put. Unlike other toothpastes, it does not sit on top of the bristles...it gets down in them which I find to be a great aspect. That way it doesn't fall off the toothbrush, in your mouth, but rather stays in the toothbrush bristles so it all gets used not wasted.If you have even one canker sore and are looking for a life changing cure just by doing what you do anyway...brushing your teeth...this is the product for you!!! My life prior to this was pure torture!! Now I am canker sore free all the time and have a fresh, clean mouth!!Buy this...you won't have one regret!!

Fine....all good

mild taste, SLS free but still has flouride. Hard combo to find

Works, but way too expensive

I am HIGHLY prone to getting canker sores. They started popping up around age 13; about 1 every few weeks. They were never very large, but they continued at this rate until I entered high school. For some reason, I began getting them constantly in 10th grade. And I truly mean constantly. Once one would heal another would show up. Not only were they more frequent, they began getting larger as well. They were always in different parts of my mouth (lower gum, upper gum, back of the mouth, everywhere). The pain was AWFUL! I remember one time, I had pain in the back of my jaw that was so horrible I thought a wisdom tooth was coming in. I went to the Dentist and he told me, no, it's not a wisdom tooth, but a canker sore that was slightly larger than a pinkie nail sitting right on top of my gum where wisdom teeth are supposed to come in. I know that doesn't sound like a huge sore, but I know for any of you that have dealt with canker sores for some time, a "pinkie nail" sized one can make your days miserable. I also know exactly how it feels to be in high school, and having to deal with the stigma of canker sores. They can make you feel unattractive, they can be the reason for reschedules dates, and depending on where one decides to show up try having the "it has nothing to do with herpes!" conversation more than once.I'm now a Senior in college and Squigle enamel saver toothpaste has literally changed my mouth. I can't stress this enough. I know that any review will be met with criticism, but I hope any of you reading this will look at all of the other positive reviews and at least try it! I have had one, I repeat, ONE canker sore since I started using this toothpaste 8 months ago. ONE CANKER SORE! After having one after the other for years this has been a miracle. I smile about twice as much, I never have to tell my boyfriend he can't kiss me because it hurts, the list goes on.Now as for the product itself, the flavor is what I would equate to a mild Andes mint chocolate. I like it a lot, but it is far from the flavor of any commercial toothpaste. There is also a slight cooling effect because of the Xylitol. Also, you may feel like it's not cleaning your teeth as well as a commercial toothpaste, but I realized a little into using it that I just have to brush my teeth about a minute longer to achieve the same "slick" clean feeling that I used to get with my old toothpaste (I used to use Aquafresh if anyone is interested!). The tube is pretty small, and is a little pricey, but this is the only product that has worked for me and I REFUSE!!! to go back to how things used to be.I hope this review helps!

About ten years ago I set out to find something that would cure the reoccurring canker sores that I was experiencing. A web search returned information about Squigle and I learned about the effects of sodium lauryl sulfate. With the order, Squigle gave you a downloadable booklet on how to combat canker sores through diet and lifestyle changes. This distinguished it from the pack, and I can say that it delivered big time. I still get canker sores, but they are much, much less-frequent. I've also tried a number of other SLS-free toothpastes and thought I would include a short list of the competitors so that you can investigate them and make up your own mind:Squigle: Mild, minty taste; foams very well for an SLS-free toothpaste; leaves teeth with a "slick" feeling and maintains enamel; only toothpaste I know of that contains Xylitol which plaque can't break down.Biotene: Available in paste and gel forms; readily available in drugstores and grocery stores; mild and effective; does not foam as much as Squigle.CloSYS: Available in a 3.4 oz. tube for taking on planes (Squigle is 4.0 oz., but TSA probably won't mind); has a fairly minty taste; foams well; probably near or on-par with Squigle.Rembrandt Canker: Pretty expensive and almost impossible to find at brick and mortar stores; comes in a pretty sweet box; 3.4 oz.; has a whitening ingredient; feels more solid and you need to work it around to get it to foam; very strong minty taste may be too much for those looking for a mild toothpaste.Tom's of Maine (assorted flavors, though make sure to check the box/label to ensure it is SLS-free): Feels a little "plasticky" in that it just kind of slides around and doesn't foam much; pretty mild taste; cheaper and available in larger sizes; can most easily be found at Whole Foods or other natural foods stores.Squigle has a funny name, and most likely has to be ordered from the Internet, but I think it's worth it. Sulfate-free shampoos are really coming along and have become more readily available, but people apparently have no problem with putting SLS in their mouths. If you have suffered from canker sores, you will find yourself becoming a Squigle-vangelist. The price is high, but you kind of have to look at it like a quality of life thing.
