This is cheek bite. This is might be some sharp tooth present or due to wisdom tooth.

Hello. As seen in the photo, it looks like a traumatic bite. It will heal on its own in a week or so. You can apply a gel or ointment which will provide you relief. Also, visit an orthodontist to know if the traumatic bite is due to malocclusion.

It seems like a normal ulcer. It will resolve within few days on its own. Use prescribed medicines. It could be due traumatic injury, eating hot food, sharp cusp of adjacent tooth etc. If it doesn't heal within a week or two then consult doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

No need to worry it looks like a normal ulcer. Mouth ulcer can occur because of stress, vitamin deficiency, cheek bite, sharp cusps and margines of the tooth etc. It will resolve on its own within 7-10 days. You can apply the prescribed gel to numb the ulcer before eating because it can cause discomfot while eating .The gel will also promote healing and will provides relief. If the ulcer do not resolve within 15 days than contact your doctor
