A few weeks back, i got smacked in the face with a football and it knocked out one of the teeth that the dentist was fixing.there was a big h*le where my tooth use to be and a few nights ago after eating dinner i thought i had gotten a piece of food stuck in the h*le.so i grabbed a tooth pick and went to examine and carefully pull it out.Only when i went to pick out what i thought was food, didnt move.i guess i poked it pretty hard because then it started gushing blood and it looked like i had cut my gums wide open.i brush my teeth daily 2 at least 2times aday..and i dont have dental insurance, i was wondering if anyone has any advise on how to how to get rid of this or if its something i need too make and emergency appointment to get fixed.if you have ?'s email me its this name at yahoo@.com and ill email back..ty

You're probably fine.If it is still bleeding, then rinse your mouth with warm salt water.It will stop the bleeding quickly.If the blood sore is still there, it will probably go away in a couple of hours.Leave it alone.Do Not use a tooth pick again.Don't poke around in that h*le again.To clean it, use a large syringe that you can get at a hobby store.Fill it with warm water and rinse it out that way after every time you eat..To keep infection away, contact a Mom and Pop type pharmacy and ask them if they have a product called ST-37.It is an oral antiseptic and it works great at healing and helping with mouth sores.
