Air it out: Air out the room, turn on the fans, open the windows and let the smell dissipate and allow to diffuse. Not healthy to breath all that in. Can cause dizziness, altered mental status and a feeling of euphoria.

No, Rinse: First of all you can use soap and water or 409 to clean, even white vinegar is better. Do not use open bleach. But bleach fumes are more toxic to the eyes than oral mucosa. So if your eyes don't burn you probably did not get toxic levels of bleach in your mouth. Just rinse your mouth with warm water copiously. Inhalation of bleach fumes can also be dangerous to your lungs. Stay away from it.
