Its a canker sore, use a little warm salty water to swish it out or even put a dab of tooth paste on it.. there is also some meds over the counter you can get cankeraid is oen of them as well as a few others that puts a coating like a second skin on it. Try not to eat anything acidic like orange juice or tomatoes. it will heal shortly. My daughter used to get them all the time when the dentist finnaly figured out she was getting to much vit. C. Good luck

Leave it alone, it'll get better. There's a lot of blood vessles around the mouth. It'll probably take a couple of days before the stinging feels better, though.

go to your local pharmacy and get some oral gel for canker sores, which are also known as herpes. DO NOT kiss anyone or share drinks or oral sex as this is very contagious and you can pass it on to someone else.

i had done the same thing to my teeth and it really hurted. so.. i went to the dentist he said that it's just a pain when your teeth are growing out towards your gum. so i think that's what you have.

Just leave it alone and it will be gone in a few days.
