The soft tissues in the mouth are delicate and sensitive, and when injured, these can be very painful.
Here’s what you can do:
Rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash. Alternatives are saltwater and peppermint tea.
Hold a moistened gauze or a teabag over the injured area for at least 15-20 minutes.
Ice helps relieve pain and slow down the bleeding. Hold an ice cube over the injured area for 10 minutes.
If there is swelling, use a cold compress on the outside cheek.
See your Melbourne CBD dentist right away while maintaining pressure on the bleeding area.
A soft tissue injury bleeds quickly and heavily but stops after a few minutes.
If bleeding continues after administering the first aid steps, see your Melbourne CBD dentist right away.
If you have soft tissue injuries in your mouth, call your Melbourne CBD dentist right away so we can treat the problem and prevent more damage or infection.
In case of an emergency, call your Melbourne CBD dentist right away.

Soft tissue injuries can occur when you accidentally bite down on them if you fall, are involved in an accident, or if you eat something too hot or too hard.
Immediately. See your dentist within 30 minutes after the injury.
At Art De Dente Melbourne CBD, we believe that treating the injury is equally important as keeping aesthetic results for our patients.
Your Melbourne CBD dentist will clean the area thoroughly and determine if the teeth are loosened or damaged.
If the injury is on the gums or other soft tissues, you may need some stitches to close the wound and control the bleeding.
In most cases, stitches are not required, and your Melbourne CBD dentist will only need to clean the area and remove any dirt or debris.
Inflammation in the mouth is most commonly caused by gum (periodontal) disease. It occurs when your body tries to get rid of the bacteria that cause an infection in the gums. This can lead to damage to the gums, bone, and the other supporting structures of the teeth.
