The roof of my mouth....

Is killing me!!!
I dont know if I burnt it or cuz ive had a little sore throat, that may have something to do with it.
Is there anything you can do for the roof of your mouth? I eat like a baby LOL little tiny bites.

Re: The roof of my mouth....

i googled it, this is what i found...

Ice it. 'Put an ice cube in your mouth immediately to neutralize some of the tissue reaction,' suggests Fred Magaziner, D.D.S., a spokesdentist for the Academy of General Dentistry and host of 'Open Wide--A Look at Dentistry,' a Baltimore TV talk show about dental care. 'Besides lessening some of the pain, it will reduce the chance of any additional swelling and irritation. That's why it's also a good idea to never bite into pizza without a cold drink handy.'

Gargle with salt water. I recommend frequent saltwater rinses--every hour or so if you can manage,' says Bernard Dishler, D.D.S., a dentist in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. 'Make your own rinse of 1/2 teaspoon of salt mixed with eight ounces of warm water to promote the healing process.'
Avoid 'sharp' foods. That means sharp in taste and in edges. 'Spicy foods, particularly Italian, will increase the pain from an existing pizza burn and may trigger infection,' says Allen R. Crawford, Jr., D.M.D., a dentist in Macungie, Pennsylvania. 'You'll also want to avoid potato chips and other foods with sharp edges, which will aggravate the lesion.'

Head for the drugstore. 'A product called Orabase, which is available over the counter, is a pectin ointment that sticks to wet tissue to protect the lesion from the heat you eat--particulary spicy foods,' says Dr. Magaziner. Apply Orabase directly on the bum to protect as well as heal.

Drink plenty of milk. 'Milk provides a mild coating that protects the lesion slightly,' adds Dr. Crawford.


Hope that helps. I hate it when it happens to me too!
