Iceeeee, lol. Drink really cold ice water, suck on ice, and take ibprofin cause it reduces swelling.

take some painkillers and try sucking on ice cube nad let the ice water sit by your gums

Do not brush them hard right away! At first, just let them be for a day or too. They are irratated of course. Help the swelling go down by buying some mouthwash with floride in it like the OralB blue stuff. Do not gargle with salt water. That is good to help sore gums if they are infected or something, but not when they are simply irratated by brushing, flossing or things like braces.

I had a similar situation once. DON'T brush the gums hard, that may cause more damage. What you need to do is put some ice on them, massage the gums GENTLY with a soft toothbrush, drink lots of fluids and avoid overly spicy foods. Most or all of the swelling should be done in under a week. If there is still some swelling when your school starts, put on some nice earrings/other jewelry (if you're a female) to distract the eyes away from your mouth. Chances are, if you ignore it, everyone else will.

I don't think there's anything you can do. If you think it's infected, try rinsing with salt-water. But if you have 6 days, it'll most likely be gone by then. So don't worry and just be careful with it. Hope i helped!!!
