What to Do If You Experience a Toothpaste Allergy

Toothpaste comes in many forms. From a variety of flavors to fluctuating active ingredients across different brands, types, and care specifications, so it’s no surprise that toothpaste allergies can occur.

Signs of a Toothpaste Allergy

Allergies can develop in the form of a rash around the mouth, chapped lips, and an itchy or burning sensation. One toothpaste allergy symptom to be aware of is severely cracked, dry lips. This is known as cheilitis, the most common allergic reaction to toothpaste.

Allergens in Toothpaste

Most toothpaste allergies can be tied to a specific ingredient. These can stem from fluoride or different flavoring agents. Gluten has also been tied to toothpaste allergies. Additionally, unique fragrances can trigger a reaction. However, most toothpaste allergies are harmless and tend to go away once the toothpaste responsible is no longer being used.

What to Do If You Experience a Toothpaste Allergy

If you have an allergic reaction to your toothpaste, swap it for another brand or flavor. The symptoms should go away on their own soon after. However, if symptoms persist or become too severe, see your healthcare professional right away, as it may be a sign of something more serious.

Fortunately, once you recognize which ingredient is causing your allergy, there’s plenty of varieties of toothpaste to choose from. In some cases, a reaction can be the result of sensitivity. Switching to a sensitivity toothpaste can help.

A toothpaste allergy can easily be averted with the right switch, so it never has to hinder your oral hygiene. After you’ve identified the specific cause of your allergy, you’ll be better prepared to pick the right toothpaste for you and avoid the varieties that may trigger an allergic reaction in the future.
