Hi,
As you have described the ulcer seems to have been caused by irritation from sharp tooth structure. A gel will only give you a symptomatic relief. It would be better if you could get your cause treated. For a temporary relief you could apply anabel ct gel locally twice or thrice daily.

Hi, it is a periapical abscess most probably. It needs a root canal treatment and oral antibiotics. Gel is only for superficial pain control and doesnt work in case of cavity and abscess.
Next Steps
consult a dentist

It may be an abscess on the gum and not an ulcer if the tooth is infected. In this case gel will not work. You may require antibiotics and need to get the tooth treated
