SOMETIMES WE’RE SO excited to eat some of the pizza that just came out of the oven that we end up burning our mouths. 🍕 It happens to the best of us, but there are a few things we can do to soothe that burn. 

1. Begin by sipping some cold water. It feels good and keeps us hydrated so our mouths can produce enough saliva to protect the burned area from bacteria. 💦

2. Stay cool by grabbing a yogurt, fruit cup, or applesauce. Maybe even try a smoothie or some froyo. 

3. Add half a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water, stir, swish, spit, and repeat! It’s a good way to fight bacteria and help the burned area heal, and it’s a great remedy for sore gums or a recent dental procedure. 

4. Another way to speed up the healing process is to apply sugar or honey directly to the burned area. 🍯This provides quick energy to the damaged cells, but make sure to drink some water after to rinse away the residue. 

5. If needed, take over-the-counter pain relievers for the first little while. Fortunately, oral tissues heal more quickly than any other part of the body, so even a painful burn to the tongue should be all better in days! 👅 #burn #mouthburn #toohot
