Hi
With your query, since you have already mentioned you had an injury to the roof of your mouth usually it takes 7-10 days to heal till you can use some ointment like dentogel/orogel/mucopain etc... for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists kindly visit your dentist for proper treatment. you also mentioned missing it is strictly advised to get the missing teeth replaced to maintain harmony between the teeth and TMJ as well.Hope this helps you
