Tooth Brush injury care - lower right
Hi, I injured the back of my gum (circled area) while brushing my teeth 3 days ago. I think I may have accidentally brushed too aggressively and injured it. I have been brushing the area lightly and using betadine mouthwash at night to prevent any infection. I also time to time use smyle gel on it. It only hurt a bit the first day, and does not hurt anymore. It is just a bit irritated and slightly inflamed, as a result it is occasionally interfering a bit with my bite. For context, I have had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. The area in question (lower right side), I had it taken out in mid-2019, and had stitches there as a cut was made. Any other care instructions for the same or to speed up healing? Would an anti-inflammatory like Combiflam/brufen help? Please advice. Thank you!

If the ulcer is due to trauma of tooth brush just dentogel before eating to lessen your discomfort is more than enough.

Keep using the ulcer gel 3 to 5 times a day to hasten the healing process avoid eating very hot and spicy food which might cause more irritation to that area. Rinse your mouth after every meal so that there shouldn't be any food accumulation in that area.
