Re: February 2011 Buddies!!!

I've been very lazy about updating so here we go: It's day 5 for me now and I have virtually no pain, not that I had much before either, I was just a little sore where the incisions are in my mouth. Getting really tired of a liquid diet now, I haven't eaten as much as I should but I really don't fee...

Re: February 2011 Buddies!!!

I'm having lower jaw surgery for my overbite on Thursday morning, i'm also having a chin augmentation because moving my jaw would cause my chin to stick out quite a lot. Feeling kind of nervous about the whole thing, mainly about the anaesthetic, all the risks and side effects freak me out a bit.

God i'm jealous!!, I had braces in 2 days ago and i'm in AGONY, no painkillers seem to work, I can barely sleep at night and i've probably had 3 meals in the past 2 days because I cannot chew whatsoever.
I think my dentist may have tightened the wire too much or something.

Hmm I might have to try this stuff, hope it doesn't permanently whiten them though, I don't want yellow dots on my teeth where the brackets were once my braces are removed :p

I use it. I'd say it's very good, it has fluoride in it which is great and it keeps my breath nice and fresh all day, guess you can't ask for much more from a mouthwash. I think i'm going to switch to the Listerine total care mouthwash though, it sounds pretty good... * Proven to clean and protect w...
