Nothing: If all is healing well, they will disappear over time. Much like the scab on a cut on your skin. Just keep the area clean.

Mouth Healing: The mouth face and head has the fastest healing tissues in the body due to the extra circulation the area has. Hot/warm salt water rinses of 1/4 tsp to 12oz is perfect.Lavage 4-7times a day. If healing is delayed after 7-10 days see your provider for evaluation.
