AForkInTheRoadHere..: Most minor lacerations in the mouth heal relatively quickly,but if the pain has continued past 2 days or there is still bleeding, you should have her seen by a doctor who can look at it and see what's going on.In the meantime, have her rinse her mouth out after every meal, and confine her food to soft and liquid things and avoid stuff that hurts, like citrus,also foods with tiny seeds or particles
