[Closed] tips for healing after mouth biopsy?

"Honestly, I got pretty anxious thinking something was wrong because healing seemed so slow."

Yeah, that's totally normal from what I've seen—mouth wounds just heal annoyingly slow. After my braces adjustments, even soft bread felt like sandpaper for days. One thing that helped me was rinsing gently with warm salt water a few times a day. Sounds old-school, but it really soothed things and seemed to speed up healing a bit. Did you try anything similar, or mostly stick to softer foods?

Yeah, mouth stuff heals at a snail's pace sometimes, it's like nature's cruel joke, lol. Saltwater rinses are honestly underrated—cheap and effective. Also, staying hydrated helps a ton, keeps things from drying out and getting irritated. Did you notice any foods that made it worse?

You're spot on about saltwater rinses, they're such a lifesaver and easy on the wallet too. When I had mine, spicy stuff and citrus fruits made it sting way more...but hang in there, it'll get better bit by bit.

You're totally right about spicy and citrusy foods—ouch, I learned that the hard way too. For me, even hot drinks were a bit tricky at first. I remember sipping lukewarm tea for days because anything hotter made things feel worse. Honestly, it felt like forever before things improved, but eventually they did...just slower than I hoped. Be gentle with yourself and take it easy; your mouth will thank you later.

"I remember sipping lukewarm tea for days because anything hotter made things feel worse."

I totally get the lukewarm tea struggle...been there myself. But honestly, I found that switching to cold drinks (like chilled herbal teas or even iced water) was way more soothing and actually helped reduce swelling faster. Warm liquids—even lukewarm—sometimes made my mouth feel achier afterwards. Might just be me, but if you're still uncomfortable, maybe give cold drinks a shot? Could be worth experimenting a bit to see what your mouth prefers...
