How does our mouth fix tissue damage without scabbing?

Something I’ve always been curious about is how cuts or burns inside of your mouth heal without forming a hard scab like you would get on your skin. Does blood clot differently in our mouths?

Others have already said it does and I can confirm. Our kid had their tonsils and adenoids out and it made the grossest looking nastiest smelling (their breath was enough to send a room flying) white scab at the back of their mouth and in their throat I have ever seen. (Doc said this is normal). It was horrendous to say the least but eventually fell off.
