Traumatic injury: is the most common cause of tongue pain. Use mouth rinses to relieve pain, avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol. Tongue soreness usually resolves within a few days. However, if this condition does not subside in a week, See a dentist or physician for help.

Peridex: Have your Dentist give you a prescription for Peridex (generic acceptable). Soak with this solution for 5-10 minutes a minimum of morning and evening. This will facilitate healing as it disables bacteria in the wound areas, so they can heal significantly faster.
