A member asked:

What do you suggest if i'm eating chips then one chip went through my gum a bit beside my front left tooth now it hurts! what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time: Should heal in a few days. In the meantime keep area clean (brush and floss), rinse 3x/day w 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water, take analgesics if necessary. If it doesn't heal, see your dentist.
