Thanks: Re: help!! pain with braces

[Guest guest]

I called my OD's office today but only spoke to one of the

assistants. She said it should be normal but i should call back.

I was hoping it would pass today and dared to eat some solid food

and it didn't hurt that much while brushing so I guess I just freak

out at every unexpected thing.

I actually freak out about mostly everything concerning my teeth

now.

Thanks for the advice,

Karola
