Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
After going through the history posted here,I can suggest you following things.
1.Please visit your dentist and get the sharp edges grounded,so that any further damage can be prevented.
2.On your visit to dentist please get a small biopsy done.This will not only give you mental relief but also exact diagnosis of the nature of the lesion developing there.
Regarding home remedies I would suggest only warm saline rinses for now.Because to rule out cancer it is required to get it properly examined first.
you can avoid on hot and spicy food stuff for time being as it interferes healing.
Drink plenty of fluids and maintain good oral hygiene.Please avoid stress and visit your dentist.
Hope it helps.
Let me know for further doubts.
Thanks.
Take care.


Advised crown.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for reply.
All the measures that you are following are definitely going to help in reducing the inflammation. But it is very much required to ground the jagged teeth, So that it does not interfere in healing. If the sharp edges are not ground,it will continue to lacerate the area and produce fresh lesions. Therefore I would suggest you to get this done at the earliest.
If possible you can put the crown or else you can postpone it for time being until you are covered with insurance.
I had advised you for biopsy, so that you will not have stress related to cancer and you could be sure about the nature of developing lesion. If you can keep yourself positive and follow the measures that you are following then definitely even biopsy can be postponed.
Please observe the lesion closely for one month for any changes and based upon its symptoms you can decide further.Continue with good oral hygiene measures and get the sharp edges grounded.
Please let me know for further doubts.
Thanks.
Take care.
