Oral lesion: Is it possible that you burned your tongue or irritated it with something else such as acid or spicy food? Very salty, sugary, or rough food? Hot tea or coffee, or hot food. This could have irritated your tongue and caused to swell slightly from inflammation which makes it rub against your tooth and notice it more. It wouldn't hurt to go see you dentist for evaluation if you don't know a cause

Question ?: No question asked, but it appears you have a sharp edge on your tooth that is causing trauma on your tongue. Have a local dentist take a look to evaluate the condition and solve your problem.

See your dentist: Your teeth can rub against your tongue or cheek causing ulcer and pain. See your dentist for adjustment. It is easy to fix.
