Torn gums - very worried about septciema and sepsis?

[JustBenn]

I torn the gum surrounding a tooth with a chicken bone while eating fried chicken and it has loose looking flaps lol

Its like there's a little part where you can pull it and grab it and tear it even more. A bit like the little end of the milk cover under the lid.

Can't explain it. But can't get a dentist appointment to Monday. Worried about bacteria getting in through my gums causing septceima?

You won't get sepsis :) if you're concerned just start some vitamin c and preventative measures!

No problem you won't get sepsis. Just use warm salt water rinses to keep the area clean.
