Oral Cancer: You've bitten your tongue, you need to give it time to heal. It may take a week or two. At 23, without underlying social habits (smoking, chewing tobacco, etc) the chances of cancer is almost zero. If your sorely bitten tongue does not heal within two weeks, please see an oral surgeon for an evaluation.
