Why is my inner cheek sore after biting it?

Dear Doctor, While chewing food I accidentally bite my inner cheek and it has turned like a sore with extreme pain, unable to chew freely now due to extreme pain and uneasiness. Kindly advise some good medicines for it to heal up fast. Thanks

Answered on 8th Oct '24

You're dealing with a small issue in your mouth called a "cheek bite ulcer." This happens when you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek while chewing. The sore can be painful and may make chewing difficult. To ease the discomfort, you can use over-the-counter pain relief gels or creams made for mouth sores, which help numb the pain and protect the sore while it heals. It's also a good idea to avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore further. Drinking cool liquids and eating soft foods will give your cheek a break, helping it heal faster. These sores usually go away on their own within a week or two, but if the pain worsens or doesn't improve, it's a good idea to consult a dentist.

I’m 32 years old male and have tooth gap in the front two teeth since years. Looking for the quick treatment without any harmful effects in longevity.

Male | 32

Hi
if you want a quick treatment you can go for tooth colored composite fillings or pircrksin veneer .
But bothe these treatments have to be redone after few years 
Long term treatment would be braces but more permanent.

Is there a way to attend the trials for stem tooth regeneration?

Male | 21

Yes, it is a fact that stem cell tooth regeneration is under clinical trials. On the other hand, participation in these trials is limited and meets the eligibility criteria. It is recommended to contact a dental specialist, especially a periodontist, and to be evaluated if you can be a trial subject.

Male | 24

silver diamine fluoride can be used but it stains the tooth. so not recommended. older generation can still use it, those who cannot afford costly dental treatment 
you can switch to strontium based tooth pastes

Can tooth decay be reversed?

Female | 39

The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.”  Here’s why:


The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.

Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.


What are some ways to help this happen?

  • Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
  • Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
  • Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
  • Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
  • Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
  • Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
  • Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners

The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.

Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.


Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown
