Dentist cut mouth

I have a sore in the corner of my mouth where the dentist cut it when removing my tooth. It is so incredibly painful I can’t even smile! Any tips, or any advice on how long it takes it heal?

I keep applying blistex but not sure it’s going a lot! 😩😩 it’s more painful than the tooth that was extracted.

I had this when I was much younger. I think all you can do is leave it alone and let it scab over. My mouth is normal now so it must have healed eventually although I don’t really remember!

It should heal quite quickly. Just keep doing what you are doing. Avoid smiling if you can x

Mine healed within a day or so, mouths heal very rapidly.
