Question:
Due to my braces, there is a large bump on the inside of my cheek, what is it?
It's definitely not a canker sore. I can feel where there has been a cut on the inside of my cheek and there's a flap of skin and a bump. Could it be just a cut? What are other possibilties?
It is definitely due to my braces.
Answers:
it is a blister cut-it is totally normal, probably from sleeping on ur side
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
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea
