There could be many reasons for this;

Mouth Ulcer.

A mouth ulcer is a blister like sore inside the mouth that can be very painful and grow very large. Some reason they develop are :

Pyschical or chemical trauma (eg:being 'run down' or stressed)

Infection from microorganisms

Medical conditions or medications

Can be medicated using a cream from the chemist or rinsing your mouth frequently with luke warm water mixed with salt.

Poor Oral Hygiene

Recommended high oral hygiene includes brushing twice a day (morning and night), flossing your teeth (at least twice a week depending if you have bleeding gums) and using (preferably) a non-alcohol based mouth rinse.

Your dentist will know exactly why if you went and saw him/her.

Perhaps you have had a high intake of salt that can also cause the tissue inside the mouth to shrivel and highly sensitive. This causes de-hydration also. So be sure to try keeping very good oral hygiene and drink lots of fluids.
