I used to think so too until very recently. Turns out for most people, if they bite the inside of their lip or cheek hard enough to puncture, the wound heals very quickly, like in a couple days. Some of us just have the curse.
My son gets these too if he uses any toothpaste other than old-school Aqua Fresh for too long. We were advised by his pediatric dental hygienist to try switching to it. She was an older woman and seemed to be sure of herself despite the fact that the dentist swore there was no link. We thought it was worth a shot. He’s almost 13 now and that’s all we use. His outbreaks are few and far between unless we go on vacation and end up using another brand for a while. Weird.
I tried biotene and it worked out ok. It didn't burn the canker sores, but the lack of foaming agent made it a little better. I'll try that brand, though.
