What caused it?: Did you burn it or irritate it (any sharp edges or rough spots to your teeth)? Did you irritate it with a fork tine? Do you eat spicy or acidly foods? Have you taken any new or different medication, toothpaste or mouthwash? As you can tell, without seeing your exact problem, it is hard to come up with a treatment. See your dentist fora thorough examination.

Salt water rinses: Try using 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water for a few minutes 3-4 timese per day (unless you are on a strict salt restricted diet). Orabase at the local pharmacy can also be beneficial. Follow the directions. If the lesion is not completely gone in 14 days or worsens, see your dentist for a definitive diagnose and suggested treatment.
