For the past few days the part between my lower lip and gum (the membrane that connects the two) has been hurting/bothering me. It hasn t been too bad besides a sore feeling. It felt like it was getting better. However this evening when I was brushing my teeth I accidentally pushed down on my lip and it hurt even worse. Is it possible that I m pulling/putting stress on the membrane and making micro tears that is causing the pain or is it something else? and what can I do to alleviate the pain. Thanks.
Hello, It seems you had hurt the part accidentally while brushing before also. The pain was caused due to that. Once again you injured the same while brushing. Please apply Hegel or Oral help gel on the affected part of the gums thrice daily. Avoid brushing that particular area at least for two days or brush very cautiously without causing further trauma. The injury should heal in 3-5 days. All the best !
