My front tooth hurts, please help quickly?!

Question

I wear braces and a couple of days ago I noticed this pain in my left front tooth (right to people looking at me) It only really hurts when I press down on the brace bracket. I haven't had them tightened recently so it cant be that, but some other teeth on the right hand side of my mouth hurt as well. Could it be because of a secondary molar or is it gum/tooth disease, or possible enamel erosion. I'm really scared that i will have to lose that tooth, I'm only 15 and I don't drink full sugar coca cola or even diet every day, not even weekly! I don't eat that much chocolate either. Please help

Thank you

Answer 1

When you get braces certain teeth hurt. That's probably just a sensitive tooth! I have one too.

Answer 2

Your tooth enamel is okay.In case of enamel erosion the tooth hurts only when you take something very hot or cold.If your brace bracket is in place and a few of your teeth are hurting as well,then you need an antibiotic like Doxycyclline 100mg.twice a day for two days followed by once a day for another three days.It will set your teeth right.It is adviseable to consult your doctor at the same time.

Answer 3

hey , dont panic , if its tooth erosion or attrition as we call in dentistry u will have marked sensitivity to cold , or even sweet sometimes , d pain that u have is cosve changes that are produced in the hard and soft tissue around the tooth due to orthodontic treatment (braces) which is temporary ( reversible pulpitis) , make sure u maintain good oral hygiene , do warm saline gargles once a day and if needed take a brufen , unless u see evident black area (cavity) there is nothing to worry about , show it ur dentist in d next appointment cos a visual examination is necessary
