I have a complicated teeth/gum issue that's too complicated to fit in here, click to read.

I recently got my wisdom teeth removed and as soon as I was able to eat hard foods without too much pain (minor prodding of the areas, y’now, DID hurt) I had some chips and I think when I was eating a chip I stabbed it into my gums. So today I noticed some pain while eating food using my left back molar, and I checked it out and my gum was kind of loose around the tooth. I won’t be able to see a dentist for a day or two, so what can I do to lessen the damage myself?
