Not recommended: To heal the sore in your mouth, first step is to stop the abrasion from the sharp tooth.  Your dentist can smooth the area or apply a filling.    Although safe to use neosporin, the mouth sore will heal fine with warm salt water rinses and you can apply oragel or benzocaine in orabase for pain relief.

It Might: Some people's mucous membranes are sensitive to peroxide in some toothpastes. If your goal in using a peroxide-containing toothpaste is to whiten the teeth, then discuss other tooth whitening options with your dentist.
