Injured Gums

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!

    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.

    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 🙂
