Check it if: We are worried about lesions that change dramatically in size, shape, color or pain. Pain is not a good sign, but might be ok if it only hurts when your teeth hit it. If it is just inflamed tissue, it should go away if you can keep from irritating it. If it continues or gets worse have it examined by an oral surgeon.

Irritated taste bud: This sounds like an inflamed taste bud that can occur if you ate something that required you to use your tongue to clear the food in your molars like chips or pretzels. Or, maybe you ate something that burned the tip of your tongue. Then, it hurts when the tongue rubs against your teeth. The soreness usually dissipates in a few days. If it doesn't improve see a doctor.
