Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, can develop in anyone, including people who have braces. Braces can sometimes cause irritation or injury to the soft tissues of the mouth, which can lead to the development of ulcers. Additionally, the brackets and wires of braces can make it more difficult to keep the mouth clean, which can also contribute to the development of ulcers.
If you have braces and develop mouth ulcers, there are a few things you can do to help alleviate the pain and discomfort they can cause.
- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. This can help to clean the area and promote healing.
- Apply a cold compress to the affected area. This can help to reduce swelling and pain.
- Avoid spicy or acidic foods, as these can irritate the ulcer and make it worse.
- Use over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to help manage the pain.
- Apply a cream or gel designed for mouth ulcers, such as one containing benzocaine, to the affected area.
It’s important to remember that everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. If your mouth ulcers persist or are very painful, it’s best to consult a doctor or dental professional for advice.
In this post, we’ll show you the steps to prevent and manage ulcers on your child’s mouth. Let’s get cracking.
