Suggest Treatment For A Blister Appearing On The Tongue
Hi i have a blister on my tounge and because im having braces i have a metal bar on the roof of my mouth to put my jaw in place but the bar is pushing down on my blister making it hard to eat and drink! i was wondering if i should get my dentist to take the bar out as its glued in but will this affect the train tacks?
Hello, I suggest that you bring this condition to the attention of your dentist. Do you have a protective wax to place over the bar? Your tongue may be rubbing against the bar and causing trauma to the tongue. Your dentist can make suggestions to cover or adjust the bar. This is an important step for your orthodontic treatment and you should not consider removal as it may limit your orthodontic results. Try to treat your symptoms with warm salt water rinses and placement of gels that contain benzocaine. Anti-inflammatory medications such as Tylenol and Advil may be helpful. Avoid all irritants such as smoking and limit foods that are acid and spicy. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my suggests will help you to feel better soon.
