Gingival cut: You may have unknowingly cut yourself during the day. If it does not heal within two weeks see your dentist.

Be patient: Fortunately, cuts in the mouth generally heal quickly and no medical help is needed. Avoid eating spicy or salty foods and keep a good oral hygiene after each meal. See your doctor for medical advise if the wound causes excessive pain or appears to be infected.
