Hello. In most cases such trauma wound heals in one week. If it is too painful and last more than one week. Visit a dentist nearby. Hope this helped

Hello Its ok no need to worry, just don’t irritate that area more by touching it again and again. Do warm saline rinses it will be fine . It is always advisable to consult a doctor before self prescribing the medications.
