Aloe vera is effective in killing the plaque-producing bacterium Streptococcus mutans in the mouth, as well as the yeast Candida albicans.

In fact, it has a long history of use in treating sores, and particularly burns, including sunburn. It also helped prevent redness, itching, and infections. The evidence for aloe vera helping heal other types of wound is inconclusive, but the research is promising.

These usually form underneath the lip, inside the mouth, and last for about a week. aloe vera gel not only accelerated the healing of mouth ulcers, it also reduced the pain associated with them.
