yow. well that's painful. i'm sorry to hear you went through that! generally structures in the mucosa (the moist part) of the mouth tend to heal fairly quickly. you will want to keep the torn area clean by gently rinsing with a lukewarm mild saltwater solution (think 1/2 teaspoon of salt to one cup of water mixed thoroughly) a few times a day. also take care in eating so the tissue doesn't get disrupted much. try soft foods that don't require you to "bite into" them. no sandwiches or apples for example. only things you can eat with a fork. infection in this type of scenario is unlikely but just in case: if you start running a fever or if the injury gets worse instead of better then be sure to see a medical professional. chances are you'll be healed up within 7-10 days. wishing you well!
i fell and cut my lip and tore the frenulum of my upper lip. how long will this take to heal?
