Best ways to soothe/heal gum tissue that's been injured by biting on a sharp bit of food (tortilla chip)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma: Fortunately oral mucosa heals rapidly because it is so vascularized. It just needs tincture of time. Don'r brush the injured area, Instead gently wipe it, twice a day, with a soft moistened cloth.
