What Causes Soreness In The Mouth?

I have a sore on the roof of my mouth. I scalded my mouth a mouth ago. I went to the dentist and he is watching it. I want to give it time to heal before going any further with this. It is a long red raw open sore. Is there any other thing it could be besides cancer if it doesn't heal?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The soreness over the palate can be a herpetic ulcer or traumatic ulcer. Nothing to be panic. You can use topical analgesics like choline salicylate and anesthetic agents like lignocaine. Observe for 2 weeks, if the lesion does not heal by 2 weeks then get a biopsy done. Consult a oral physician before biopsy and get yourself examined completely.
I hope my answers will help you. Take care.
