How to tackle braces pain....

Dental Wax or Cotton:
Soon after you get your braces, it will not pain much. But when hours pass by, the brackets will start pressuring on your teeth, this may cause little pain. If you are talkative, you may sometimes notice the parts inside your mouth (Cheeks especially!) and lips getting scratched due to the braces. Now what you should do is, simply get some dental wax, roll it into small balls and stick to the brackets which are causing you scratches. If you don’t get dental wax, use clean cotton. Don’t forget to remove it when you have food. And replace fresh cotton every 2 hours. This will stop your cheeks getting scratched.

Ice creams:
Cold juices and ice creams help a lot! They doesn't only numb the painful area, but will also balance the ‘glucose’ loss in your body due to inability to chew and eat food. Stock some fresh ice creams in your fridge. You can have it many times in a day (On the first week of braces) unless you are not prone to cold or cough. Apple shakes and smoothies will also be good. Don’t forget to brush your teeth soon after you have ice cream!

Dentogel:
If the pain is unbearable. dentogel is a topical anesthetic gel. Just squeeze some gel and apply it over the painful areas. Leave on for 5-10 minutes and rinse off if you need.

Pain Killers:
Take pain killers only if the pain gets badly unbearable. Combiflam, Voveran, paracetamol are good painkillers for dental braces pain.
Important Note: take pain killers only after consulting with your dentist or orthodontist

Frequently asked questions by patients and its answers...

Which is the best toothpaste to be used?
The patient should select a paste which tastes good for them and doesn't cause any allergies or burning sensations in the mouth. It should contain ingredients such as fluoride and triclosan. In addition to these, it must also contain other ingredients that are present in all dentifrices.

Which is the best toothbrush to be used?
It is important to know the manner in which the toothbrush is used. It has to reach all parts of the oral cavity. Patients should be advised not to neglect the inner aspects, which are important for oral health. Inner sides should be brushed effectively by using a reasonably sized head of the brush with a reasonable amount of bristles. It is advised to change the toothbrush preferably in about 2½ to 3 months.

Dental flossing
The new dictum is floss first, brush later. This allows the dentifrice to reach the areas which are covered by the biofilm or the food debris.

Mouth rinse
Clinicians should evaluate whether the patient needs an additional regimen to combat infections. Mouth rinse cannot substitute tooth brushing. Thus, if only chemical adjunct is required, mouth rinse is recommended.

Toothpick
It is recommended not to use toothpicks. However, tooth should be selected, which needs extra care or additional attention. This is because of its position or tendency to accumulate more plaque. Mandatory routine checkups every 6 months should be advised.
