I cut my tongue eating cracker bread! how long will it take to heal its not deep surface cut i think, as the side of my is hurting ?

Usually a few days: Depending upon how deep the cut is. Keep the area very clean, use colgate peroxyl peroxide rinse to clean the area to keep out debris and promote healing. If it becomes quite red, painful, swollen or oozes pus from an infection, immediately see your dentist.
