There may be something seriously wrong with the teeth in that area --please see a dentist!
In the meantime, you could try using some warm, salty water to swish around in your mouth to help ease the pain; there's also gels that you can find in a drugstore, that are used for babies when they are teething, to help relieve gum pain.

u have probably removed the cause, which no doubt was the piece of stuck meat, but the gum is probably sore, it will take a few days to settle down, hot saly water is the best option, and if its no better in a few days or appears to be getting worse, i am afaird you will need to see a dentist,
if the pain is a throbbing pain as oppose to soreness, i would go straight to the dentist
best of luck

If you have numbness alcohol usually works too, I know some people use it on thier baby's when nothing else works. .

Use a different toothbrush and toothpaste. Sometimes use math wash also. It helps!
