Any Tips for Managing Sore Gums/ Cankers/ Gum Sores?

Hello everyone! Newly diagnosed with MS here, I got a gum sore the other day that has yet to resolve itself. The first few days couple days were okay, but, now it's quite painful, brushing teeth on that side hurts, so I avoid that side where the sore is, I tried a topical "freezing" protective-layer gel but, it made things worse :/ Not sure what else to do, chewing food hurts at this point. Should I go and see my dentist? I'm not on any MS meds, or any other meds currently, I think I just brushed a spot in my mouth a little too roughly and that's how a sore came to be. Any suggestions and/ or tips are welcome. Thank you! :)

Try gargling with salt water

@jamoranto, I never thought of that! Thank you! I will try it when I get home after work tonight and I'll let you know if it helps.
