Natural healing: There is really no way to put ointments or bandages there so fortunately, our bodies come with its own first aid kit. The good news is that our mouths have excellent blood supply and because of all the enzymes and fluids, low risk of infection. When an injury occurs, inflammation(red, hot, tender swelling) starts. This is the body increasing blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors.
