Question:
I cut my gum, and it hurts to talk or eat when I put my jaw in certain positions. Help?
A few days ago I was fidgeting with a hair clip fairly close to my mouth, and the hair clip snapped and my gum hit the bottom of the hair clip. The gum is under my bottom front teeth, at the front. There was no bleeding from what I can remember, and I didn't actually notice any cut until two days later.
My mom is a clinical specialist and gave me a dental paste (Triamcinolone Acetonide) that I apply twice to three times a day, and I wash my mouth with a solution called CloSys II. I can tell it's getting better but at the same time I feel that it's getting a little bigger. There's an offwhite surrounding color of the cut. When I talk or eat and my mouth is in a wide-opened position in which my bottom lip is doing the work, it hurts. I have a position as a Master of Ceremony at a celebration my sister is holding in about two weeks. Any solutions?
