How long has the pain been present?
The tissue on the tori tends to be a little thinner and therefore more sensitive to injury. If its fairly recent, it may take some time to heal and get better. But if it seems like its not improving much at all, I would consider going to a dentist or oral surgeon to get it checked out. They may recommend removing it.
I would imagine it would normally heal in a week or so. Its possible you're re-injuring it again but I would consider making an appointment to see an oral surgeon about it since they'll most likely be removing it.
Thank you for your prompt response. I have had the pain for about 10 days. Sometimes it feels like the pain is lessening, but, then it will start hurting real bad again.How long should an injury to a tory take to heal? Will warm salt water help the healing process?I am thinking I will wait another week before going to a dentist or oral surgeon.
