Hi, my daughter has braces and she recieves her regular cleaning. On her last dental visit, her teeth were cleaned with baking soda due to bacteria around her braces unforeseen areas. Tonight she complains of upper gum pain on each side of her mouth. Can I try a home rememdy to help her reach untouchable areas in her mouth to control her gum pain. Mom
Hello,as the cleaning was done recently there will be mild pain which will go on its own ,proper rinsing of the mouth with mouth wash is required ,if you insert some sharp thing in the mouth than you may damage the gum more as it will be tender after cleaning ,so it is better to consult your dentist before you try doing home remedy ,some pain killers may helpThank youDr.Krupa
