Your mouth heals quickly, but constant rubbing changes the game. Every time the ulcer touches the sharp tooth, the surface gets irritated again. It can feel like you’re starting from day one.<\/p>\r\n
Try to notice exactly where the ulcer sits. If it lines up with a chipped or unusually sharp part of the tooth, there’s a good chance the two are connected. You may also feel the rough edge with your tongue, especially after a filling has cracked or worn down.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Warm salt water rinses can feel calming, especially after meals, though they won’t fix the sharp tooth itself.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A soft toothbrush is worth using here. Scrubbing harder around the ulcer only makes an already irritated patch more miserable.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Dental wax can cover a rough edge temporarily, which is handy if the tooth keeps catching your cheek before you can see a dentist.<\/p>\r\n
If a sharp tooth is clearly rubbing against the ulcer, getting the tooth examined is the sensible move. A dentist can smooth a rough edge or repair the damaged tooth, depending on what’s actually causing the problem.<\/p>\r\n
