Answers:

A salt water rinse will help, do not swallow it. And brush more gently in future, receding gums can lead to tooth loss.



Take a couple of standard painkillers.

Whilst you are waiting for the pain killers to take effect place a hot water bottle or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth against your cheek, to deflect the pain. You can stroke you cheek gently, but you won't be able to keep it up for very long.

==========================

Rinstead pastels can help with infections, ulcers etc. The are available over the counter at chemists without prescription.



What do you reckon to a visit to see a dentist. It,s the best reassurance you could ever get
