Avoid Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in toothpaste. That’s the #1 cause. It changed my life. SLS is completely useless and should be illegal in toothpaste IMO. It’s just here to generate foam and makes it look like the toothpaste is working. Kids toothpaste often don’t have SLS.
Certain foods can be triggering. For me it’s walnuts and especially canned food.
In my experience using a mouthwash like listerine remarkably accelerates the recovery. **You have to gargle really aggressively for 60 seconds, and regularly mix fresh air in your mouth. The stronger you feel that mouthwash burn the better.**
I only use mouthwash when I have a sore, and generally they are gone after 48h with mouthwash. Otherwise they can last a week.
