What kind of toothpaste works best for those of you with mouthsores from the
Arava? Dale dosen't really have sores but his mouth is very tender now. He
had a pizza last nite. I know a no no when upset tummy, but he had to have
it and I wasn't home. he said it hurt his mouth and that toothpaste does
too.

Biotene, and biotene mouth wash. It is non caustic and very nice taste.
The only thing with the tooth paste is you will notice it doesn't foam like
regular toothpaste but it works good. I have lupus sore inside my mouth
and had a biopsy done, only thing that helped relieve the sores besides
some cortisone gel called lidocaine gel, for that is a script to get.
good luck

I don't know of a toothpaste that is especially good. But for me, anything
that claims tartar control is major bad.
