What can I do to get rid of or cure a cut inside my mouth?

Question

I have a cut inside my mouth it really hurts, what can I do to ease the pain?

Answer 1

Bonjela is a great gel for stuff like that, available at the Chemist for about 3 quid

Answer 2

I also had a cut inside my mouth and I tried all the salt - cyder vinegar - etc., I found after application of iodine it was much improved so I keep this going for about a week and it cleared up 100%. Hope this works well for you.

I also used my pain gone pen to give it an extra boost it is wonderful on just about everything that is bothersome.

Answer 3

I just went to the dentist for the very same thing yesterday! He said 1. rinse with salted warm water
2. Get ORAGEL to ease the pain
3. Try not to chew on that side until it
is healed.

Answer 4

I would rinse with warm salt rinse (half teaspoon salt/boiled then cooled water) that should help it to heal and stop infection, will be a bit sore but will help. Avoid hot (temp)spicy/acidic food and dont keep touching it with your tongue. Take a couple of nurofen and it should settle down, cuts in the mouth usually heal quite quickley as they are bathed in saliva which helps the healing process anyway. Hope you feel better soon.xx

Answer 5

How did you get the cut? If you are wearing a tongue piercing then you should remove it. Could it be from braces? Then you should have the orthodontist adjust them. Did it just happen with no known reason? Then you should rinse your mouth with warm salt water a few times a day. You could try the pharmacy and see if they have anything, such as Kanka, that you could use, but that stuff is really gross. You could see your dentist.

Answer 6

Ask the pharmacist for a local anaesthetic that is used for chancre sores in the mouth that can be soldover the counter without a doctors prescription. Otherwise, keep your mouth really clean all the time, use mouthwash, and wait for a couple of days for it to heal on its own naturally

Answer 7

Simply rinse with salt water. The salt in the water will help heal the wound. It may sting a bit, but not bad. Don't put anything else in your mouth, this is the safest thing to do.

Answer 8

Your best bet is to carry around a water bottle half filled with listerine and half with water.. shake it up and take a swig after eating or drinking anything.. Swish it around and spit it out and you'll be good to go..

The problem with mouth sores is that there is constantly bacteria in your mouth that gets into the wound and doesn't allow it to heal. Good luck!

Answer 9

salt water mouth wash is one of the best things, teaspoon of salt in warm water, and rinse about 4 times a day, make sure you spit it out.
if you want to use a bought mouth wash i would recommend corsodyl, but be warned over use will stain your teeth, but it one that both dentists and oral surgeons would recommend
If the cut persists, i would see a dentist, if it is recurring, you need to find out why, it could be a rough filling, etc

Answer 10

Ouch...Take an advil for the pain and swish salt and water around in your mouth a couple of times a day.
