\u2022 A sore that keeps getting bumped by one particular tooth, especially while you’re chewing.<\/p>\r\n

\u2022 A sharp edge or chipped tooth nearby, which is worth getting checked if the rubbing continues.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Eating spicy or acidic food suddenly feels like a terrible idea. Honestly, skip it for now.<\/p>\r\n
Start by leaving the sore alone as much as possible. Don’t keep touching it with your tongue or biting the area to see if it’s still there. That habit feels harmless, but it keeps the tissue irritated.<\/p>\r\n
