Hi Davemeister -- Thank you for the information. I've been struggling with a CPAP nose for a few years due to a full face mask also and the constant need to keep it snug. I've tried many different under the nose full face masks with no success and keep going back to my ResMed AirFit F20 which gives me the best sleep results. I'm in the process of getting a nose pillow mask and using a chin strap to see if I can make it work, time will tell 🙂

I was surprised to see that your Crest toothpaste works so well for you since it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) which is the ingredient that makes it foam/clean and also can be an irritant to ulcers in the mouth. That's why I switched to one that uses baking soda and doesn't have SLS.

Hi John,

I just tried a little experiment. I used a different toothpaste to see if it would sting. Photos of the tube are attached. It did sting mildly, and the toothpaste I mentioned earlier did not. The stinging started on my tongue, then to my cheeks. I have glossitis on my tongue. That used to be the most sensitive part of my mouth. When I started having problems years ago, I could only keep toothpaste in my mouth for around 5 seconds. It hurt my tongue quickly. Both pastes have SLS, but the concentrations might be different. Many of the other "inactive" ingredients are different but could be important. I have heard of the SLS issue before. I have no Idea why my my toothpaste doesn't hurt, but it doesn't, so I use it.

I am going to give the baking soda / hydrogen peroxide / water series a try.
