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?

I had a tonsil out recently, looked just like a wet scab on your knee after a long swim.

Here are some (mildly NSFL) photos spanning 10 days of healing:
