: You might try using some peroxide rinses. Cleaning might have caused some irritation. I would also avoid spicy foods, foods that are crunchy, and have a soft diet until area heals.

Take nSaids as per package directions before meals. If it has not started to resolve by 72hours post-onset, see your Dentist.
