Sounds like that`s what it may be. If that`s the case, it usually heals itself, may take a week or so. Good idea to see your DMD if it doesn`t go away, just to make sure. You`re lucky - I just had more procedures done yesterday and my cheek and gums are so sore from injections I can barely open my mouth! Oh well, nothing good is free I guess!
