If your gums get swollen how long does it usually take to go away after you get your braces off?

I just got braces today and I can’t floss with them for the life of me. Especially between my two front teeth – the enamel is eroded at the bottom of both of them and it was hard getting the floss in between those two teeth in the first place! Now with braces, it’s nearly impossible. On the rare time that it started going in, the floss just got snagged on an eroded “hedge” of one of my teeth and it started coming apart. Little strings of the broken apart floss was then stuck.

Oh that happened to me when i first got my braces on. Because that happened, i started using the Crest brand Glide floss, its this white one that isn’t like the string kind (i cant really describe it but just google it), and its much easier to floss with it than with my old floss, and it doesnt come apart like the string kind. Heres a tip but if you havent really flossed much yet, i’d skip flossing for the first few days since your teeth are really sensitive when u first get them on.

Man when i first flossed with braces, it took me nearly 20 minutes! Haha, i laugh when i think back about it. Now it just takes me 5 minutes. It isn’t that bad after awhile, and you just get used to it.

Definately! Flossing will allow your “gum build-up” to heal!

I would discuss with your general dentist and orthodontist regarding your specific situation.

#15 written by BahebakYaLoubnan 1 year ago

I have a question. When I try to floss between one of my teeth, the floss, no matter how hard I try, won’t go through. Is it because of the glue? If so, what should I do about this?

#19 written by theantking01 1 year ago

Good videos. Is there any specific mouthwash you could recommend for people with periodontal problems? Could you please reply back. I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.

I agree with aznxdino. On the tag in my listerine mouthwash cover, it says “kills germs that cause bad breath, Plaque & the gum disease gingivitis”. so does that mean i’m off the hook for flossing

Ok I have a question the front bottom row of my teeth I have 1 tooth that feels like it has a piece of food or something in between it….But Ive flossed and theres nothigng there. What is it?

Quote
#22 written by Khachonsakkanakun 1 year ago

@starfalco97 Using mouth wash is not as effective as flossing at all. Although the mouth wash kills germs, flossing is more important.

@4getmenot753 Flossing will not cause the gaps that you sometimes see in-between teeth.
