The exact reason why aphthous ulcers develop is not yet clearly defined. Approximately 40% of people who get aphthous ulcers have a family history of the same. Current thinking is that the immune system is disturbed by some external factor and reacts abnormally against a protein in mucosal tissue.

Superficial tissue cauterization using silver nitrate stick
Medicated toothpaste without sodium laureth sulfate

Avoidance of foods that trigger or exacerbate the ulcers.
Dietary supplements of vitamins or minerals, if diet is deficient.
Reduction in stress....
