The problem is usually friction. A cracked or chipped tooth can leave a rough edge that keeps scraping the soft tissue in your mouth every time you talk, chew, or swallow. Your mouth doesn’t get much of a break from that irritation.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Warm salt-water rinses can calm an irritated mouth, though they won’t fix the broken tooth itself.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Dental wax over a sharp edge is a handy short-term trick, especially when the tooth keeps catching your tongue.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Soft foods feel easier while the ulcer is sore. Crunchy food tends to make you notice the spot again.<\/p>\r\n
Sometimes the break is small. Sometimes it reaches deeper into the tooth. A dentist needs to check which situation you’re dealing with because the right treatment depends on how much of the tooth has been damaged.<\/p>\r\n
A traumatic ulcer often improves once the source of irritation is removed. But if the broken tooth stays sharp, the sore can keep coming back. That’s the frustrating part.<\/p>\r\n
It very well could be, especially if the sore sits exactly where the broken edge touches your cheek or tongue. But mouth sores have other causes too, and a sore that doesn’t heal within about two weeks deserves a dental or medical examination.<\/p>\r\n
