I just got spacers today and?!
Question: they hurt SOO bad. I just got them on this morning around 9:00. like if I bite down, or eat or something. They are sooo painful. and making my mouth so sore. I had seven in only, because my one molar didn't grow out completely and one spacer already fell out and I called my dentist but I'm not sure if they ever called back. What should I do for the pain? and information on spacers?! Help!! =[

If you wanted to gain something you have to pay for it . While you desired to have spacers for the beutification of the teeth, obviously it will trouble for a while being foreign particle in the mouth. It is quite common for few days. Once you are habituated you will not notice it. In all activities initially for first time it will trouble for the time being , but it will set right. Same thing happens when you put on the spectacles with numbered glass first time , but gradually you are getting acquainted to it .
So don't worry , it is everybody's experience and me too. Worse come worse you consume pain killer provided by the doctor i.e ibrufen and if not subside , consult doctor , he will give the shot in the gums and you will be free from all the troubles.
Probably use oragel or oralgel or whatever it is called
don't worry about it- it'll get better
if it fell out then i don't think it's needed there
take advil/ asprin/ tylenol/ prefered pain meds
Yeah you'll have them for a week or two but stick around soft foods and soups. You'll get used to them in about 5 days.
Ah, I remember those, they hurt for basically everyone. Try some Tylenol or ibuprofen. And eat soft foods. It's not something I forgot, even though it's been two years since I had spacers...and so far a few months without braces :3 It'll get better though!
Take motrin (ibuprofen) , eat ice cream, pudding, scrambled eggs..... they will get better in a week or so......
ps..braces are worse :(
We are in the same boat girl! I have 8 spacers in right now. They do the exact saem thing! What I do for the pain is I take asprin or advil. It helps the pain more! Hope this helps and I hope you stop hurting!
I remember when I got spacers. yeah it was realllyyy painful! but eventually it goes away as you get used to it. I recommend taking your mind off it, watch tv, listen to music, whatever. also, drink alot of ice water! it numbs your mouth so you can't feel it.
I know how you feel I had to get spacers a little while ago but I already got them out. it is OK that 1 of them fell out my dentist was fine when one of mine fell out. and I took Advil so if you have Advil or Tylenol take it and eat soft things and drink hot chocolate or something warm.
i just got braces on feburary 12 and before that i had spacers in and to help that painful feeling i just toook tylenol and i ate soup! i hope this helps!
take a tylenol and my spacers i have had for 3 days did not hurt one bit i dont feel them at all i dont get it i dont even feel them at all!
