Hello,as the cleaning was done recently there will be mild pain which will go on its own ,proper rinsing of the mouth with mouth wash is required ,if you insert some sharp thing in the mouth than you may damage the gum more as it will be tender after cleaning ,so it is better to consult your dentist before you try doing home remedy ,some pain killers may help
Thank you
