Oragel works well in the short term, (2-3 days) to numb a sore spot but if a small sore doesn't heal in a couple of days, it is time to find out why you aren't healing normally.
It goes without saying that you need to avoid irritating the spot until it heals.

Try rinsing your mouth with a salt water solution (about 1/2 teaspoon salt in a cup of warm water) a few times a day. This will rinse away any bacteria and soothe the irritation. It doesn't taste the greatest but the cut will heal faster than not rinsing. This works great for canker sores too.

Gargle with salt water heavy on the salt.
