Do what our grandmother would have done.
Get some Brandy and a Q-tip, put some one it and rub it on her gums.
Dont let her know its brandy, dont want her telling her friends that mommy gave me booze.
It worked for us, might work for her.
Try Oil of Clove or Clove oil. You can get it at most drug stores or health food stores.
If you can find a drug store open there is an OTC medicine call Huracaine Gel that is very effective.

They make Oragel for kids.
You should be able to get it at any drug store or even places like Target.
