Question:
I got my braces yesterday and they hurt so im not sure what to eat!?
I have tried Apple Sauce and thats perfect but C'mon I dont wanna be eating apple sauce ALL day I tried other stuff but right after I eat it my teeth shiver with PAIN.
I brush and use a pick[or whatever its called]. And mouth wash and everything possible except floss?
By the way does flossing really even help!?
Anyways any ideas everything will help [= Thanks,,, Nicole!!!
Answers:
***flossing helps a lot it keeps ur gumlines clean and if they arent, they can get a disease and look purple and really ugly, get puff and almost fully cover ur teeth!!!
use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids
then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, beans, milkshakes, ice cream, mashed potatoes, jello, pudding....soft foods-avoid straws
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
