My Teeth Are Killing Me, What Do I Do?!
Question: My Teeth Are Killing Me, What Do I Do?
Answers:
Anbesol, wax and cold drinks, ice pack to face, motrin, when I worked, I was able to use "hurricane spray" banana flavored spray for oral procedures, but it dulls gag reflex, maybe they can get you some benzocaine, You can buy it in the baby department or the adult dental Rx otc sections. I know how you feel. Take motrin every 6-8 hours and next time pre procedure, atleast 1 hr. Give DDS a call, it should settle down in a day or so, also warm salt water rinses, very soft foods, it hurt even to chew those, so, milkshake time!
Eating cold stuff is. Best it'll actually soften the wire and relieve some of the discomfort also tylenol or advil helps

take advil or aleve, and try taking it before you go, and later that night after you've been.
