I don't know if this may be causing your problems but stimulants like Adderall & Ritalin can make your mouth drier. It reduces saliva flow & can increase the possibility of canker sores & tongue blisters.
This has come up before (in a slightly diff form) in this forum & it's a good idea to buy a toothpaste that doesn't contain any SLS or sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate. It helps toothpaste foam but it's quite irritating to some people & dries out the mouth even more.
Rembrandt makes a SLS free toothpaste (you need to check the ingredient list) & so does Biotene. Both will significantly reduce the frequency of canker sores.
