PowerSmile Toothpaste by Jason 6 oz.

I bought this Jason PowerSmile toothpaste last week at the recommendation of a friend who suffers from canker sores, like I do. She said she liked the taste and found that it (being free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) did not seem to bring on or aggravate her canker sores.

The day I bought this toothpaste, I happened to have had a bad canker sore on my tongue. I had no expectations of this toothpaste helping, but I was just happy to find another SLS-free toothpaste, for variety.

Well, was I in for a surprise! A few minutes after brushing with Jason PowerSmile, my sore hurt LESS. That wasn't really expected, as the mint is somewhat strong (I like it quite a bit, though) and I was concerned that it might be irritating.Then I thought, perhaps the mint numbed the sore but no, the sore didn't hurt worse later. In fact, it didn't really hurt again, though it's still there (4 days later).

An added bonus my teeth are literally squeaky clean after I brush. When I rubbed my finger across my teeth, my husband looked at me and said "Do you have a mouse in your mouth?". And the strange thing, usually after I have something sweet, I feel the build-up on my teeth. With PowerSmile, I don't there must be some ingredient that provides the equivalent of a "car wax" on my teeth.

Nope, I don't work for Jason. :-) I'm a software tester. I have to be critical of products that don't work and on the flip side, I like to spread the word when one works way beyond expectations!

>>>>> update 12/26/2005: I'm still very happy with this product. I do get canker sores occasionally, but they have yet to hurt to the point to affect my ability to eat or talk, like they used to. I'm hooked!
