how to fix a hole in my gum at home
Hey Niah, I noticed a small hole in my gum. Can I fix it at home?
Umm, I'm not a dentist, but that sounds like something that might need professional care. However, maintaining oral hygiene could help prevent it from worsening until you can see a dentist.
Well, I was hoping there was a quick fix I could do right now. Do you know any?
Honestly, I don't think there's a 'quick fix' for something like that. It's best not to mess around with your gums. You could make it worse.
But it's just a little hole, and I don't feel any pain. Are you sure I can't just use something at home to fill it?
Even if it's small and not painful, it could be a sign of something more serious. Please don't try to fill it with anything. It's not like fixing a hole in the wall; it's your health.
Okay, but what about natural remedies? Are there any I can use just to protect it from getting infected?
You could try rinsing with warm salt water to keep the area clean, but that's about it. The best 'remedy' is to book an appointment with your dentist.
I guess you're right. I'll call my dentist first thing in the morning. Thanks for the advice.
You're welcome. Good call on seeing the dentist. I hope it's nothing serious.
