iPhone 7 scratched by keys - DIY fixes please!

So my keys got loose in my purse and scratched up my iPhone 7 screen. I am bummed. I looked online and tried taking toothpaste to smooth it out. Maybe it worked, or maybe I am crazy. Does anyone else have another DIY trick without me having to replace the screen/put out more money than this prized phone already costs?

 

Thanks,
Ela

A good video showing scratch testing for the 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vYfAqEyGV0 says keys and coins should not scratch it but recomends protection
