For temporary pain relief, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. A warm saltwater rinse (half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water) can also help soothe the irritation. Since rough gums can sometimes indicate mild inflammation, it is highly recommended to have a dentist examine your mouth to find the exact cause. In the meantime, please continue gentle brushing and flossing to keep the area clean.
