How To Treat A Small Hole Caused In The Gum By An Accident?
I was opening something with my teeth a few days ago and i slipped and it hit my gums and it hurt but I didn't think anything of it. But two days after where it scraped my gums it began to hurt. I looked and it looks like a small hole on my gums . Could it just be where I scraped it or could it be something worse?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have injury in your gums dont worry you do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
On gums you can apply ointment Gum paint three times a day.
If you wont get relief then go to dentist for oral examination.
Hope this will help you.
