Annoying tooth irritation

#1 Post by TucsonDeb »

Augh. I've had my brackets and spacers in for a little over 2 days. Although there's no "pain" per se, it's so incredibly irritating on my molars. Dull throbbing.

I've been taking Excedrin, although that's normally good for headaches, not tissue pain. I need motrin or advil. Or tequila.

Just whining. :D

Try something that has got codeine in it. I don't know what brands you have but here in Aus its Nurofen Plus or Panadeine Forte that you can get over the counter but still pack a punch when it comes to pain relief.

The throbbing is worse than pain really - cos its just there constantly and wont go away.
