Braces Hurts While Swallowing, Bottom Farthest Molars Hurt Severely, Swollen Gland Seen. What Should I Do ?
I have just gotten braces which I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but when I swallow it hurts. And my farthest molars on the bottom are hurting severely there is like a piece of lose skin on where it looks like the tooth is growing in but it almost in so I have know idea why that would be there but the skin around the molars you can pull it away from the molar not to far because it starts to hurt but where you can see inside and I don't think that's normal and when you look inside its like this white /yellow type stuff it almost looks as if the tooth is infected. It's hurts to chew swallow and even talk!! And then I looked to the back of my throat and there are like red veins like something that would look like if it was infected. And also there are bumps And white like circles that are starting to build up on one of my molars and there are a few in the roof of my mouth. I also think I have a swollen gland.. I have been taking cold medicine because i did have a cold before but thats gone so now i have this and i have been brushing my teeth mouthwashing and doing gurgling warm salt water is there something else i should do? I know this is a bunch but I'm dying for help. I haven't eaten in what feels like forever I need help fast..

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
From the details produced,its clear that your gums are inflammed after inserting braces due to improper oral hygiene methods.
Your molar tooth has periodontially inflammed due to heavy plaque and calculus deposition.
I would suggest you to get a thorough scaling as well as root planning done.
Take tab-doxycycline-100mg,once daily for 7 days.
Use interdental toothbrush to clean your teeth.
Brush your teeth after every meals.
Use chlorhexidine mouthrinses to gargle.
Please be conscious about your oral hygiene ,since you are undergoing orthodontic treatment,which makes cleaning teeth difficult.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
The problems you have are very commonly encountered by most of people who get braces.
The malocclusion due to the braces is temporary , as your dentist says it does take a month or so for the braces to be comfortable.
Yes, the dentist can rearrange the braces if needed.
To ensure that the braces are well fitted regular massage of the gums should be done.Massage could be done using the gum massager or with the tooth brush of soft consistency.
Also washing mouth with CHLORHEXIDINE solution daily before bed will prevent infections and thereby maintaining the gum health which is very essential for the braces.
