If a small thorn is lodged in your gums, you can choose to use tweezers to remove it, go to the hospital, or take care of it afterward, depending on how deep the thorn is lodged. 1. Tweezers: If a thorn is stuck in the gums, if the thorn is relatively obvious, you can use tweezers to hold the thorn and remove it yourself. If the thorn is deeper, it is usually not recommended to take it out by yourself, so as not to operate improperly and push the thorn into a deeper position, aggravating the gum damage. 2. Go to the hospital: If the splinter is stuck deep into the gums and can’t be handled at home, go to the hospital in time to find a doctor to deal with it. The doctor will remove the splinter with a surgical instrument to prevent the splinter from being stuck into the gums for a long time and causing infections. 3. Post-care: After removing the thorns in the gums, follow-up care should be carried out. Povidone-iodine gargle, chlorhexidine acetate solution can be used to rinse the mouth, if you do not pay attention to disinfection, it may also be affected by a number of factors and cause infection pus. Small spines lodged in the gums should be seen promptly to avoid delays.
