I hurt my gums?!
Question: I hurt my gums!?
i cut the bottom part of my gum, right in below the front bottom part of my mouth, like if i pull my bottom lip down you can see it!. and it hurts pretty bad!.
I heard if i put baking soda on there, it will help!.
Does that work!? and if not, is there anything else that i can try!?
thanks in advance!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
hmm, i dont know about the baking soda thing but i would advise you instead to just rinse with some warm salt water a couple of times per day and that should help!. if the cut is very severe you should have it checked by a dentist but if its not bad then i wouldnt worry about it, small mouth injuries generally heal very quickly! you could also try getting some mouth rinse called "peroxyl" its a non prescription mouth wash that you can find at walmart or or a grocery store or pharmacy- it has peroxide in it and helps also!. hope you get to feeling better soon!
