Hello Doctor Zurdo, I need a bit of advice please, I have cut my gum quite horribly after an incident at work. its basically between the tooth behind my lower right incisor and the one behind that and is basically a split about 7mm long. it was painful and I have been given pain relief. it has healed somewhat but in cleaning/brushing I feel I am aggravating it and prolonging the pain I’m in. if i dont brush it I could contract gum disease/gingivitis couldn’t I? could you help me please/give me some advice on what to do? cheers
