Ouchie!!!

Poor thing! Go and have some icecream!!! That is soft and mushy and gives you the sugar you need to concentrate!!! Icecream cures all!!

eek, i know all about tooth pain

try a heat bag if it gets too bad, or some ice in a teatowel, i had a very bad tooth once and i made a heat bag until i could get to a dentist, it did help a little, you can also rub crushed panadol on the sore parts, this helps a bit too.

goodluck

Awww sending lots of pain free vibes your way.

That's one of the problems. Unlike with many ppl, instead of helping me, cold and hot stuff hurt my teeth!! I have very sensitive teeth!! I have taken 4 Ibprofens like my mom (she is a doctor) told me, but they still hurt!!! Thanks for the suggestions, though. I hate the stupid gung-ho orthodontics in the USA, ppl care way too much about straightness of teeth! And being thirteen, i have no choice about the braces! They said id be able to take them off by now, too!!!!

Thanks for the vibes, ppl! I need support bad right now!

You poor thing!!!

Hmmm...Ok...What about sucking on something sweet?? I can't think of mushy stuff that isn't cold or hot!!

Pudding cups

I hope you feel better soon!

If i had any "pudding cups"( ) i would try that, but im sure i don't. Nobody eats pudding in my family. And i had to throw out my halloween candy after the dog ate and drooled on most of it...
I can't think of much. These are good ideas though. Ty for the vibes

Hmmm.....You'll just have to stick everything in the blender!!!

Pudding cups are individual containers of pudding that are good "on the go". They don't need to be refrigerated, so that's why I thought it would be something you could eat.
When I had my wisdom teeth out I ate mac & cheese, but let it cool before eating it.

Go and ask at a pharmacy...there is something that comes like a mouthwash that is numbing. I can`t remember what it is called, but I used it when I first got my dentures and they hurt my mouth. It does`nt last a real long time, but you can use it over and over as much as you want, since you don`t actually ingest it.

Oh, I feel your pain. My orthodontist told me I would have my braces for a year, but I ended up having them three.

Best braces food I would say is Jello.

Ouchie! That really stinks! Hope you feel better soon! If I were you and didn't have homework, I'd sleep through it as much as possible!

Thanks ppl. That is a good idea, Agent Haun, i do like jello. Maybe i can find some in the fridge. I thank you all for your sympathy and nice suggestions.

I just wish my mouth would quit throbbing!!!!!

And i don't have time to bug my parents into going to the pharmacy. Maybe tomorrow, when i have less homework hopefully. five hours a day really sucks.

Hehe.

Just wait until the acne.

*sigh* was just brought back 16 years ago when I got those damn things! Mouthnumbing stuff won't help, it the pain on the inside. I would def take the ibuprofen. If it hurts so much you can't concentrate, tell your mom you have to take the day off school. I would tell the orthodontist next time how much pain you were in.

Owww!!, I know your pain, I wore braces for 3 years. Freezies I used to suck on those when I had my braces tightned.

You poor kid! My son is 13 and he diesn't have super crooked teeth but the dentist did recommend braces. We saw an orthodontist but he said it wouldn't pose any health issues...just cosmetic. I left the decision up to my son and he chose not to get the braces....his slightly lop-sided teeth don't bother him and if he changes his mind, he can always get them later. Sorry you didn't get to make your own choice.

I was lucky-way back when I was in school no one really had braces until high school-and really not even that many did and I attended a larger school. Now it seems every kid has to wear braces. Somewhere in my gene pool I had straight teeth-I remember that is what one of my SIL remembers when she met me oh about 22 yrs ago!! That I had nice straight teeth!!
But I would mention to the orthodonist next time - the pain. So how long have you worn them??? Would like a cream style soup feel better-how about mashed potatoes!!
