Question

OMG!!!i got braces today and after a few hours the pain came in and oh boy it HURTS LIKE CRAZY!!!!!i hav never felt in so much pain before...any tips on how to make my gums/teeth feel more soothed and less in pain???=)

Answer 1

Try these things:

Cold compress to the outside of mouth

Listerine(yellow) and Orajel mix

hot shower

warm compress

ANYTHING you try, note which ones help and where the pain is.  If these don't help, Go to the er.  Ask for a local, penicilin, and tylenol three.

THIS IS NOT REPLACEMENT FOR DENTAL CARE.

Answer 2

orajel, or some sort of teething jel. Put it on your gums

Answer 3

OMG me 2...try some Ambosol and try massageing your teeth with a tooth brush...helped me!

Answer 4

For the first few days,   your favorite Tylenol or Advil will be a great help.    Also,  gum jels like Ambesol or Oral-jel work great too.  

You will have to pamper your teeth with soft foods for a week.

I know it is not fun right now,  but remember Pain= Success.   Your teeth have already begun to go straight,  and that is why you have the discomfort.   It is only like this at the beginning,  so be as good a trouper as you can right now,  and in a bit,  you won't even notice your braces are there.

So pain medication,  soft foods,   Ambesol,   and a bit of courage will get you through the first few days !
