The exact cause of aphthous ulcer is unknown. Some probable reasons are stress, allergies, genetics, vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Trauma is also an important cause of aphthous ulcers. This trauma can be caused by sharp teeth, ill-fitting dentures, brushing too hard, or cheek bites while eating. Some foods, including citrus or acidic foods, also trigger canker sores. The simple remedy for aphid ulcer is mouth rinse with antimicrobial mouthwash and vitamin replacement.
In case the aphthous ulcer is not getting better or remains on some days without getting better, we advise getting a proper dental/oral cavity examination to rule out any serious illness like oral cancer.
