You could try a toothbrush with dog tooth paste applied to attempt to lift this off from the gum line outwards. Chew toys may increase the level of saliva in the mouth and allow it to be flushed off but if neither of these work it may be necessary to sedate and remove this to prevent friction and inflammation of the underlying structures in the mouth
