Takes 2 weeks: It usually takes about 2 weeks for sores to calm down considerably. As long as you don't bite it again, it will heal.

Give it time: Tongues usually heal quickly. Kanka, an over the counter elixir, dabbed on often relieves the pain. If this lasts too much longer, see your dentist. You may have an infection.
