Metal Mouth Message Board

I am soooo happy I am not alone!!!
I'm now drinking, extra, extra water and using preventive wax before becoming intoxicated!
Lets see how this weekend goes....

Thanks guys!

It's funny, normally for each pint I drink a pint of water, but I guess i have to drink even more water now that I am a braces wearer!

Has anyone else noticed this... After a night out (nice way of saying getting hammered, lol) I have noticed that the insides of my mouth are torn up worse than ever. Its not due just to talking more as I have just had a quiet beer to myself and felt the same. I've found that my mouth seems to swell ...

the tea bags worked like a charm for me...
good ole Earl Grey

Just make sure it is Black tea not herbal tea (I was cautioned against using herbal tea)

I totally hear ya Jaswi.... I have never in my life had a canker sore until now, and lucky me I currently have 4. I am attributing it to mouth trauma (had 4 teeth extracted on tues.) and my new braces. I went to the store today loaded up on biotene mouth wash and toothpaste as well as some Orajel to...

I just had my extractions done (4 pre-molars) - how many hours do i need to wait before i try and eat something liquid, like a soup or a vitamin shake?

I was having that same thought today! I like knowing that they are nice and secure and moving snugly into place. I am on week 4 and I am getting used to them and know when I look at them stuff is "on-the-move" that feeling alone makes me pretty happy.... so i can't imagine having them off ...

Well, today I took my GRE (I did really crappy) and tomorrow I am getting 4 teeth extracted, Yipeee! Talk about Hell week....... Anyone have any tips about extractions? 2 uppers and 2 lowers....
I'm sure there is probably a thread about extractions already so I apologize for the new thread....

I'm a smirker! I've never really smiled in photos only smirked! But in about 2.5 years I will be more than happy to smile!

I totally feel you too! The main reason I subscribed to this board was to have people to talk to and relate to about my new metal mouth. Its hard, but everyone here has been great, especially Kiwi! I am on week 2.5 and everyday it gets better. I was on a mush diet for about the first 1.5 and was goi...

No matter the time of day, anytime anyone mentions pancakes, I immediately start craving them...its uncontrollable!

I took all of your advice and this was the result: one "magic bullet" blender (yes, the one on TV) Macy's had it. one can of "SPIRU-TEIN" strawberry shake mix (has lots of vitamins) a much bigger carton of soymilk than I usually buy one teensie bucket of soy ice cream (I've never...

As soon as I got my front braces on I called the boyfriend for the "test" - I wanted to know his very initial reaction to my braces. So called him and met him for coffee and the first thing he said was "ooooohhhh my gowd you are soooo cute!, I can't wait to take you to a bar!" (I...

You guys read my mind, I was just thinking about this today! I tried and tried to finagle my way into my mouth with a hangnail, but it is not going to happen. I finally gave up and went for the clippers and thought "well thats going to put an end to that nasty habit" - so yes, very good be...

so I stocked up! I did get a funny look from the check-out chick, buying $25 worth of floss.... :lol: thats the way I have been feeling every time I go to the counter with 6 sets of everything (job1, job2, job3, home purse, boyfriends)... your post made me laugh and laugh! thanks! I also use the su...
