A member asked:
Its been a month since my orthodontist replaced all my brackets and i got brackets on the 4 very back teeth. i still have like pits on my inner cheek and white ulcer looking shapes because i wasnt given dental wax. could this turn into oral cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. As your teeth straighten irritation should diminish. Ask your Orthodontist for wax and instructions for use. You can also find some on the Dental aisle in your local pharmacy. Rinsing 3x/day w 1tsp salt in 8oz warm water may help, swish and spit out. Also considering using q-tip to dab oral analgesic ointment, again in dental aisle, onto sore spots.
