A nagging pain from an injured lower gum is giving me the blues. I had accidentally whacked my front lower gums forcefully with the upper tip of the toothbrush where the plastic part is whilst brushing my teeth 3 days ago. I was in a hurry to brush my teeth and have a shower as the hubs was rushing me to get ready to go out… with no prior notice as usual. I get very annoyed and agitated when being rushed to do something with no prior notice given. In my haste to hurry up, I injured my gums with the darn toothbrush. You know how soft and sensitive the gums are, now the entire lower gums feel bruised and throbbing with pain. I feel as if the teeth from the lower gums will be yanked out any time. I dare not bite on any food that is hard. The pain in my gum is really giving me the blues, what more on a Monday where the blues are even more felt. Even twitching my face hurts my gums and chin now. Feel like crying a bucket and wish the pain will be gone right away!
Oh dear, hope that pain goes away soon. Will sucking some ice help at all? Take care,,,
If able to, see a dentist. If not, get some Orajel (the stuff we put on babies’ gum when teething) or even Sensodyne toothpaste. Brush with that but when rinsed out, smear a little onto the problem area and leave it there.
If you can stand the pain, gargle with warm salt water.
Mum, Chris & Sheoh Yan, today is the 4th day and the pain is almost gone. I hv been gargling with sea salt water (my most trusted cheap fix for sore throat and gum pain) every nite and it works. THanks for the advice 🙂
