Hello and welcome.
For now you can do warm saline rinses twice daily for a week and use Hexidine mouth wash for gargling after dinner.
It should heal.It is best to visit dentist and get clinical examination done to see if there are any pockets developed.
Development of pockets and recurrent food lodgement can lead to failure of bridge treatment.Therefore please see your dentist soon.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
