Is a cut on the mouth self-curable?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Several factors contribute to whether this will heal without evaluation and suture. Depth of the laceration is the primary reason for suturing it shut. If more than 6 hours have past, you may not be able to be sutured shut in which case the doctor will specify a wound care regimen. If the split is because of an infection or cancer, it will not heal unless treated accordingly. Location also matters.

Yes: Simple injuries to the mouth generally heal quite well and rapidly. Rinse your mouth 3-4 times daily with a solution of 1:1 hydrogen peroxide and water. If the cut is not much improved by 3-4 days or if pain continues to increase, see your doctor.
