Isn't it funny how one thing can bother one person terribly but for another it's not a big deal and something completely different sends them through the roof?TuZZi wrote:My teeth haven't really "hurt" yet persay.... they are more of an annoyance that is always there. My mouth is always a bit achy in the morning, probably from sleeping with my mouth wide open, but after a half hour or so it's back to normal. Other than a dull ache every once and a while from a banded tooth, or a severely crowded front one, there hasn't been much pain from the teeth themselves. But my cheeks *OWIE* there's a whole other story.
Good thing things haven't been so bad so far.... I can't swallow pills and usually don't get any relief from any kind of liquid medicine, no matter the ailment.
I haven't had hardly any cheek problems. Yeah, I've gotten the holes and sores, but they just don't really bother me. Nothing like the agony of having your teeth move a mile in 24 hours. ( at least that's how it feels! )
. No seriously, cold things ease up the gums and the teeth. Sometimes it feels like my teeth are heating up because of the pressure and it is a bless to drink something cold when that happens. For the rest i don't do wax and painkillers, i tried it but it doesn't work for me. The best thing is to toughen up the inside of your cheeks and your gums by NOT using wax, it sucks at first but it will get better in no-time.
