My Mom had this same problem until she stopped using toothpaste and mouth wash that contained Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Read the labels, under the "inactive" ingredients make sure it does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Click here Dry Mouth Toothpaste, Gentle Mint Gel (Biotene) and here Low Abrasion Whitening Toothpaste for Canker Sore Prevention (Rembrandt) for toothpaste without SLS or Rembrandt for canker sore sufferers and Orajel for dry mouth does not contain SLS.
