Healing time | Burn on the palate

Healing time

The healing time of burns depends largely on their severity. In the palate, the healing process also benefits from the ability of the mucosal cells to divide more quickly. Therefore, new, healthy tissue can be formed in a shorter time.

First-degree burns therefore usually only need about one day to heal. Second degree burns, which take about two weeks to heal on the outer skin, should be expected to take at least seven to ten days for the mucous membrane.
