I have a really bad habid of biting my nails, however a piece of nail suddenly went missing and i think it went between my teeth and is stuck there behind my gums, is this bad? or should i just let it be? its 00:34 right now so id rather sleep it off if that wont hurt me of course
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you had a piece of nail which is stuck in your gums, which can act as foreign body over there and leads to chances of infection. Need not worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline rinses and do self irrigation as well with a flush of water or Betadine. If condition doesn't improve in 12 hours or create problems then consult dentist for proper examination. Doctor may extract that thing with small instrument under local anesthesia if required. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,
