Dental Question?

Question

I am going to get braces and before all that I will wait to get 2 of my baby teeth out or more possibly get it pulled out by the dentist. They will also probably pull some out to make space for all to fit because I have a small jaw. They will also do two sealants (which I do not have a problem with). They will also install the braces.
Yesterday night when I ate chips one of my teeth or gums bleeded.
Ther is no fixed apointment yet.
any advice?

oh yeah and one of my gums still hurt.

Answer 1

ur gums are proably just a little infected
try brushing better and maybe use some ACT mouthwash


it hurts way more when u are an adult because as a kid ur teeth are growing so they can move aorund unlike adult teeth which are all firm so u are lucky

***pink and light blue are cute colors

***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain

***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colors

k
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)

it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad

they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff

first theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time

then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!

then they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit right

then that is it!Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, and rubber cover up

when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids

then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, and soft foods-avoid straws

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

Answer 2

the same thing happens to me.
wel i have a braces and my jaw is very small that they were forced to extract 4 teeth, two from up and two from down well for the first time you might not feel comfortable with it and you can't eat like how ever you like (some thing hard is what i mean) but after a few time you will get used to it and it will be ok but the main thing is while putting a brace is to make up your mind
know there is no going back and the best thing is you will be glad when you see the result in the end am sure you will say it is worth the exprience you had.
and usually my doctors says that gums bleeding occurs due to less cleaning as for me same thing was happening since your jaw is smalll your teeth will not be cleaned while burshing but all this things will be gone by the time you finish your treatment

I wish you good luck [but remember at the end it is worth it]

Answer 3

i didnt like braces to much.. good luck

Answer 4

Just do it and get it over with...don't wait until you are grown!

Answer 5

YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT AND IT'S A GOOD THING TO GET IT NOW AND NOT LEAVE UNTIL LATER.
