Very sore gums after removal?
Hi guys, so happy to have joined the braceless club!!! Did anyone else have extremely irritated gums after removal? It's been nearly a week and I can still barely brush on the right side because my gums are so ripped up. I think that dental assistant was using a pickaxe on my teeth (and gums!) Any recommendations to help in healing?
I had the same exact assistant.
I think she was practicing for her butcher's license or something. My gums were so ripped and swollen that I had sores still open when I went to get my teeth cleaned six weeks later.
My hygeinist was pretty surprised and the damage. It took a long time to heal too.
Happy healing!
