Toothache because of braces?

I have a toothache now i think it's because of my braces. It's been about 2 weeks since I tightened my braces last. It hurt the first 3 days. And now after 2 weeks it's hurting again. I know it's because of my braces because when I push the brace that belongs to the tooth that tooth hurts. Does anyone know what to do?

Toothache because of braces?
That's happened to me several times - it's kinda weird. It's like the soreness is all gone but then out of the blue it comes back.


anyway, that's normal, your teeth are just moving again. If it really bothers you you could try a painkiller, but it will probably stop hurting in a few days.
Reply:I only have had my braces for 5 weeks, I also get the same thing. It is the teeth loosening to move. I had the very same thing yesterday on one of my front teeth.
Reply:some one i know have the same problem every time she been to the dentist and her braces were tightened she was in pain so she would take pain killers for a few days until it settles down . all th ebest
Reply:I have braces too and often get that. I would say thats fine. It will clear.





Try taking a pain releaver if it is very sore.
Reply:It is common to have tooth discomfort when teeth are moved with braces. Take motrin, it will help.
Reply:I'm not 100% sure about braces... it sounds like there may be a cavity but you should ask your dentist... here is some helpful info:





Tooth Root Sensitivities





Chronic gum disease also contributes to toothache due to root sensitivities. The roots are the lower 2/3 of the teeth that are normally buried in bone. The bacterial toxins dissolve the bone around the roots and cause the gum and the bone to recede, exposing the roots. The exposed roots can become sensitive to cold, hot, and sour foods because they are no longer protected by healthy gum and bone. The sensitivities may be so severe that the patient avoids any cold or sour foods.





Early stages of root exposure can be treated with topical fluoride gels applied by the dentist or with special toothpastes (such as Sensodyne or Denquel) which contain fluorides and other minerals. These minerals are absorbed by the surface layer of the roots to make the roots stronger and less sensitive to the oral environment. If the root exposure causes injury and death of the inner living pulp tissue of the tooth, then a root canal procedure or tooth extraction may be necessary.





Cracked Tooth Syndrome





"Cracked Tooth Syndrome" refers to toothache caused by a broken tooth (tooth fracture) without associated cavity or advanced gum disease. Biting on the area of tooth fracture can cause severe sharp pains. These fractures are usually due to chewing or biting hard objects such as hard candies, pencils, nuts, etc. Sometimes, the fracture can be seen by painting a special dye on the cracked tooth. Treatment usually involves protecting the tooth with a full-coverage gold or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown. However, if placing a crown does not relieve pain symptoms, a root canal procedure may be necessary.
