First thing is wash your mouth with salt and water. ease they pain. Take nurofean for the pain. eat extremley soft food. Your not used to them that's why. Trust me i got them 2 weeks ago n they stopped hurting like on sunday. but still hurts when i chew xx

I know what you are going through right now.

1) Take some Tylenol, Advil or some other pain killer that is safe to use.
2) Eating ice-cream, a milkshake or anything else that is cold will help to ease the pain.
3) Drink plenty of water, the coldness of the water will also help.
4) Only eat soft food until your teeth are no longer sore, which will be in about a week.

Just hang in there and you'll be fine. Just remember, all the pain is worth it.
