[|Human|] I accidentally bit into my cheek while chewing gum about a week ago. Now there is flap of skin where I bit. It s not swollen, hot/warm, or a cold sore (from what I can tell). It didn t start hurting until 4 days ago and the pain is similar to the stingy pain of a cut cheek from wearing braces. I need to know if I need to go to the dentist to get it checked out because the flap has not gone down at all and only increases in pain.
[|AI|]  Hello probably your cheek is ulcerated because of biting. Generally it should heal within 2-3 days. Since it has not healed even after 4 days, you should consult dentist. May be the ulcer is too big to heal on its own or there might be some sharp tooth surface which is not letting ulcer heal. Dentist will round off sharp tooth surface and will prescribe some gel so that ulcer heals faster. Take care Chat Doctor.
