    Mouth/Gum Injury - questions

    Caught a stick to the mouth the other day mtbing, and it appears to have taken out part of my gums (just a piece over my tooth). I've gotten a tetanus shot and been rinsing with hydrogen peroxide/water mixture or listerine after every meal. No fever. Anything else I should be doing?

    Itll heal fine. I got clotheslined by a rope while skiing, fucked my gums up way worse than it sounds like yours are, was fine in a few weeks.

    Cool, just worried since I have a weird single-tooth receding gumline and I'm paranoid due to my shitty luck with random stuff (Managed to actually contract measles 2 years ago despite being vaccinated)

    My gf had an abscessed tooth and took golden seal and cayenne and applied neem oil and knocked it down until she can get the root canal.

    wouldn't hurt to have your dentist take a quick look. other than that you should be good.

    can't believe no one has commented that you caught a stick to the mouth.

    hydrogen peroxide may not be the best idea as it is caustic to mucosa.

    ....man I'm bored.
