Braces on and at school?

Question

I am in a lot of pain. I am at lunch right now and i have my laptop that is why i am on the internet. My braces are killing me. I forgot to take tylenol this morning and my aunt can't come and get me. So i am stuck at school. The secretary can't give me anything. What can i do? The nurse only comes once a week on a Thursday because we are a small school.

Answer 1

I hate to say it but, unless there is someone in the school office who can give you something, you are going to have to wait until you get home.

If they are not newly adjusted, you should call your dentist and find out why you are in such pain. Either way, you probably will have to wait until you get home.

Sorry that I can't help you more.

Answer 2

Braces do hurt for 2-3 days when dentist finally put the wire. nothing much can be done at this stage. only a painkiller can help you. try not to eat anything hard or that has to be chewed. put a big chunk of wax and do not speak much. just try to relax.this pain is worth endurig because you are going to have beautifully aligned teeth.for more information you can visit www.identalhub.com and they have a good article on braces.

Answer 3

You'll be fine. I know it hurts when braces are tightened. I've been there. Just don't chew anything too hard.

Answer 4

..and just use a bug chunk of wax..esp if you know u arent gonnna be talking much..like in class or something..it really will help with the blisters

Answer 5

Sorry hunnie, but it sounds like you are out of luck. If I were you I would try to tough it out until I got home and try to focus on your work to keep your mind off of it. The pain will go away soon, just keep that in mind and everything will be okay. I had to go through it too so you're not in it alone.
