What Causes Pain In The Lower Labial Frenulum?

I have pain in my lower labyia frenulum (I m not sure how to spell it!) but there s no bumps or anything.. there s not receding gum line or anything like that. But, I m really really really worried. I have no family members that have ever had any problems with gingivitis or anything like that. But it hurts and it s been hurting for a day now. I m super worried. Please help.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain in lower labial frenulum does not need to be due to some serious cause, rather it is commonly seen due to common causes like injury with toothbrush or any hard foods, accidental stretching of lower lip, burning with any hot foods etc..
So not worry as it will get healed soon..
For now you can take anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and along with it you can apply Lidocaine gel over it to relieve pain..
You should avoid hot and hard foods to prevent further injury..
In case if it does not improve in 3-4 days then you can get it checked by a Dentist..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
