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?

it’s the constant moisture exposure. if you were to scrape your knee and somehow keep it moist constantly it wouldn’t scab either. and in fact keeping a skin wound moisturized, say with very regular applications of an ointment or coconut oil or whatever, would allow it heal more quickly than if it were to dry out.
