Gum cuts around bottom Incisors
Hi,
I have slight gum cuts/wounds around bottom incisors, which doesn't seem to be healing. Whenever i brush( not vigorous) it starts bleeding a little. Whenver i use my incisors for eating something hard like an apple, i can feel that scratches my gum.
I have tried massaging my gums with turmeric in mustard oil and also mouthwash but doesn't seem to be helping.
Any ointment or other things i can try ?

Hi,
Please discontinue use of the mouthwash or any other substances.
The cuts may have occurred due to a traumatic injury to your gums; they will heal with time.
Next Steps
Do consult a dentist nearby. Avoid acidic food and beverages until healing is complete. You can apply Mucopain gel onto the cuts for pain relief.
