mouth/ braces
i recently got a small cut on the tip of my tounge. what would be the fastest way to heal it (putting air on it, ice on it, leaving it alone, etc.)??
Also i have braces, and they were just tightened. Is there any faster way to making them stop hurting so much?

Either rinse your mouth with warm salt water or use listerine. This will help the cut heal faster. As far as your braces, only time will make them stop hurting as much, but until then, you should ask your parents if you can take ibuprofen or tylenol.

I would leave your tounge alone. You mouth is the fastest healing. It should heal pretty fast. Don't worry about that.

Oh, fun braces. I had them for 3 years.. they were.. painful at times. I would take a pain relever (spelling). Something that you have in your house :: IBU, Advil.. something like that. When my teeth hurt I put a towl or a wash-cloth in hot water, and put it on my teeth, odd I know, but the heat helped relex my mouth, and it wasn't as painful. Good luck with your braces :]

Ah braces. I just got done with them myself. Before you go into your appointment, take Tylenol. And after the appointment, chew sugar free gum.(or any gum) My friend suggested that I try chewing gum after I have my braces tightened because it relaxes the teeth. If you leave them alone they tend to hurt a lot. If the gum doesnt work, keep taking tylenol (when you are supposed to) and stick to softer foods.

Leave your tongue alone.
And the braces thing, I'm going throught the same thing. Bite your tongue [softly] wither your molars and pre-molars and it will help a bit.

Leave your tongue alone. I did that before. And try chewing on something. I'm not sure, but I think that helps. For the braces i mean

Just leave the cut alone and try not to eat too much salty food cuz if it touches the cut, it'll probably really hurt (salt + wound = ow).
As for braces, when did you get them first? I've learned that after a while, the pain from tightening kind of fades away. But as for now, painkillers are really helpful. Also eating soft food that you dont need to chew too much to swallow. Noodles are a good choice for this.
i hope i helped somewhat. it's mostly a tolerance situation. after a while, you get somewhat use to it more. just dont try to chew on anything tough (like steak).

I've gotten a few cuts on my tongue and if you just leave them alone they heal within a few days.
As for braces, I got my bottom braces on in April and Tylenol is my best friend when I get them tightened =)
I hope this helped =)
