Is it possible to get heartburn from toothpaste or mouthwash?

[Nbg]

The last 2 nights I've gone to bed I've had awful heartburn, to the point I feel sick.

I can only put it down to toothpaste or mouthwash but can that be possible because you don't eat it?

Yes. Many mouthwashes have a high alcohol content. Try one of hte 'sensitive teeth' or alcohol free brands. Oral B makes one that's good.

Oh thank god for that.

I won't use it then.

Thanks expat.

I used to get WICKED heartburn from the regular stuff whilst pregnant. So I switched to the Oral B stuff for a while. It's a bit more expensive, but I'm religious about brushing, flossing and rinsing w/mouthwash twice a day.

Oral B, right have noted that.

It's a supermarket one we have atm I think. I just won't use it.

You can use the supermarket stuff to clean toothbrushes.

toothpaste is good for cleaning jewellery too...although not sure what thats got to do with the price of fish!
