What You Can Do At Home 

Rinse with warm salt water 

- Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. 
- Rinse gently around the tooth for 30 seconds, 3-4 times a day. 

Antiseptic or Soothing Mouth Rinses: 

- Chlorhexidine Mouthwash (e.g. Corsodyl): Strong antibacterial action, use twice daily. 
- Colgate Peroxyl (Hydrogen Peroxide Rinse): Helps soothe gums and flush away debris, can be used 3-4 times daily. 

Both are safe for short term use - follow the instructions on the bottle. 

Keep the area clean: 

- Gently brush around the tooth with a soft toothbrush to remove trapped food. 
- If brushing is too uncomfortable, rinsing alone can still help.
