My advice is to sip cold water throughout the day, and once or twice a day rinse your mouth with salt water.
Here's some good advice I got from http://www.identalhub.com/dental--treatment-for-pizza-palate-burns-770.aspx
It's more geared towards a "Palate Burn", but should hold true for any mouth burns we pipe smokers encounter.
Treatment of Mouth Burns
Certain home remedial measures can be effective for treating mouth’s sore roof. However, if there is no relief, it is always recommended to seek medical help.
Home remedies for treating the sores in the mouth’s roof and the palate include:
1.Water forms the best remedy for burns. Drinking cold water is always recommended after you experience such a burn. Additionally, holding the water in the mouth for some time will also be helpful to soothe the burn.
2.There is a thin lining of the soft tissue that covers the palate. Thus, there are increased chances that blisters are formed due to a pizza burn. Also, there can be seen a flap of the damaged tissue hanging from the roof. In such a case, the ice cubes must be rubbed over the area for relief and for avoiding swelling and pain.
3.When convenient, gargles and regular rinsing with salt water also provides relief. The salt water serves to be an antiseptic and frees the area of any infection; while leeching out the excess fluids.
4.Sugar also brings relief. After the burn, it is recommended to swallow some sugar and let it dissolve slowly in the mouth. Honey, being a natural antiseptic, will also deliver soothing results as it develops a coating over the affected area.
5.Rinsing mouth with cold milk also provides relief as it forms a coating over the affected area.
6.Your palate certainly needs some time to recover, though you can find relief from pain, swelling, and burning sensation.
7.It will be required of you to avoid any hot, spicy, or citrus foods till the time your burns heel completely.
8.Cooler drinks or meals will be a better option at such times.
9.Avoid hot meals and hot drinks for a couple of days till your burns disappear completely.
10.Immediately consult a doctor if the burnt area remains tender and sensitive even after a week. You might need some antiseptics or topical analgesics.
11.You can take some painkillers such as ‘acetaminophen’ twice a day to get relief from pain on account of the palatal sore.
12.Vitamin B-Complex supplements also help speed the recovery process for the sore roof.
13.If the sore roof is developed due to caner sores, salt water gargles offer relief.
14.Application of fluocinonide gel (Lidex) provides relief for canker sores
15.Orabase – a commercial product for maintain oral health – can also be applied over the affected area in the mouth.
To Seek a Medical Help
If soreness and blistering of the palate still persists, one should see medical assistance.
Should Contact a doctor in the following cases:
1.If Condition still persists even after trying the remedies for more than two weeks.
2.If sore palate develops after taking new medications.
3.If a person has a weak immune system condition including cancer or HIV.
4.If large white patches are visible on the palate.
