Question:

How to heal a sore in the mouth, when braces keep irritating it?

My duaghter recently got braces. just before she had them put on, she bit the inside of her mouth and got one of those sores that takes a few weeks to go away, until the area heals.

She has been putting the wax on the braces over the spot, but it is not helping and the sore is getting bigger.

What can we do to help the swelling and stop the sore from getting bigger? Is there any way to get rid of this sore, when the braces will keep moving against it?


Answers:

Try something like Anbesol to help numb it.
