Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The possible causes of the cut could be a tooth brush injury or from food particles. Nothing to worry about it, you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food. If the cut does not heal in 7 days then consult a oral physician and get it ruled out from other lesions.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
