Just got home from surgery a few hours ago and, as pain killers etc have started to wear off, I've noticed my whole lower right gum on the inside of my mouth has a huge chunk scraped out of it and is really stinging when I try to eat.
I'm guessing this is from when I had a breathing tube? Can anyone tell me if it's normal and will head on it's own, or should I call my dentist to be on the safe side??
Thank you so much in advance x
