Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
As per you query you have cut on gum , which is not healed yet . Well i would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically and examine with the help of probe. Doctor will wash it with hydrogen peroxide and recommend graft or give stitches . After the procedure doctor will put you on antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . For now do warm saline rinses , maintain proper oral hygiene and apply dologel if there is difficulty while eating food .
Understanding your concern.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
