A member asked:

How can you speed up the process of healing if you have a burnt mouth?

Dr. Shawn Murray answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Mouth Sore: The most important thing to do is not disrupt the healing process which will take 7-10 days. Don't eat or drink anything hot. Don't brush the roof of your mouth for a week. Use warm salt water rinses twice daily to disinfect, this may sting but it will help promote healing.
