Palatal Wound: It can take a couple of weeks for the wound to really start feeling normal. You cannot make your gingiva regenerate faster, but you can help the healing process by not adding insult to injury. No spicy, hot, or hard foods that can irritate or damage the sensitive tissues. NSAID's will help with the inflammation and discomfort.
