Trauma: Most likely you have a scratch or burn from food. Typically hot liquids -coffee, soup, tomato sauce from pizza, etc. will cause a burn. Crusty bread, chips, pretzels, etc can cause a scratch.If any of this applies, then that is the likely cause.You may also have a herpetic lesion,especially if you have a cold (virus) and a history of herpes. Warm salt water rinses (1tsp/8oz) often help . Good luck

"Pizza Palate": Pizza or other hot foods and liquids also can burn the roof of your mouth. If the soreness persist beyond one week, call your dentist.
