I was brushing my teeth this morning and accidentally jammed my toothbrush the bottom part of my jaw on the gum line. It was very painful and started bleeding. It still hurts and so do my tonsils so perhaps I hit a nerve. How should I treat the pain and injury?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. If there is lesion you can apply denote ointment two to three times daily. Do saline warm saline gargles. It will heal within a few days. If the pain is uncontrolled you can take an analgesic, if persisting contact a local dentist. Hope your query is answered. Thanks and best wishes.
