While brushing a week ago I accidentally scraped a part of flesh on my gum, with the back of my toothbrush ,after that I've had continuously problems with chewing food from my right side of the mouth where the wound is. Please suggest me a remedy as I've waited a week thinking it would heal up! And the pain is increasing day by day.
