Oral Cuts?!
Question:
Oral Cuts?
I have a nasty habit of chewing my pen caps. Last week in Biology i was chewing the cap and the metal thing that holds it to your pocket slipped and cut me, below my gumline on the bottom of my mouth (in front of the teeth). I've had it for four days now. The cut is a small dimple-shaped cut, and it has only gotten bigger. The skin around the hole is grey and white. Should I call my dentist or doctor?
Answers:
Hmm...since gums are supposed to be a pinkish color...I'm thinking yes!
