Rough foods: Doritos, crusty bread, pizza, hard shell tacos, etc. Prevention is the best treatment. Good luck.

Cuts: What you call "cuts" may be from rough food substances, gum disease, systemic problems such as diabetes, damaging oral habits, and many other reasons. Please see a dentist for examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
