I, too, experienced large sores (they look like blood blisters) in my mouth
 following a routine cleaning appointment with my dentist.  I called to see what
 the ingredients were in the paste that was used to clean my teeth.  It was
 Johnson & Johnson, but did not list all of the ingredients so I called the
 manufacturer.  I found out that it contains a list of about 20 megaword
 ingredients, including several different flavoring agents.  I was not able to
 determine which ingredient might contain gluten, but decided to ask my dentist
 to use plain pumice instead of the flavored paste.  That has been working fine.
