Apply a pinch of table salt directly to the affected area, it will hurt for a moment but within a day or two the cut should heal.

-- Actually, an easier way to this is to mix one teaspoon of salt with a small cup of water (between 4 and 6 ounces per one teaspoon). While salt does work to dry the area of flesh and fluids in and surrounding the wound, this should be done at least 3 times a day for the first couple of days since the natural accumulation of saliva will eventually wash away the salt. Gargle the salt water for 30 seconds, making sure that you feel the liquid on the affected area for the entire time. Do not swallow the solution. this is easier than applying dry salt using your finger or other topical application tool on the inside of your mouth. Both methods will sting a bit, but it's better than allowing an infection to grow inside your mouth, which can be costly to fix and in some cases deadly. Happy Gargling.
