Today, I discovered that just because I got my braces removed does not mean my painful mouth ulcers will stop. I now have them under my tongue. I can't even lick my lips. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. FML
Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML
Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment in which a nurse numbed my mouth. After coming home, I took a nap in which I unknowing bit through my top lip. I physically can't speak. FML
Today, while enjoying breakfast, my teeth took a chunk out of my cheek. This happens regularly, even when I'm talking. Both my doctor and dentist have no idea why, and I'm in utter agony. FML
Today, I had to get three teeth pulled. That would've been fine if they were all on the same side of my mouth. Nope, two were on the upper left and one on the bottom right. I kept thinking my upper lip was gauze it was so numb, and I kept drooling like a baby. I've barely been able to eat as it's so sore. FML
Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Haha I know exactly how that feels, having had my braces removed a year ago. Don't worry, it'll pass, just give it a week or so (:

I didn't have mouth ulcers back when I had braces or as a result of them being removed. You probably have some other sort of mouth related issue.

Also, if you have the kind of ulcer that's extremely painful and caused by a bacterial infection, you can put extract of oregano on it, and that often kills it. Some dentists have a kit you can use to apply sulfuric acid to burn it dead, which is more reliable but more painful.

Put mustard on them, yes it will hurt like hell, but they will go away faster.

Could be anything.... #25 including herpes. I am an ortho technician and have seen quite the variety of sores. Can't rule out anything so don't be a jerk to someone suggesting it. It's feasible. Also had braces two years ago so know of all sorts of other possibilities....however herpes is VERY common.

AHHH i feel for you! me & my mate always get really bad mouth ulcers, we dont know anyone else who gets them so regulary & many as we do. shes been doctors about them and they cant do anything. it can be a sign of stress or depression, acidic drinks such as orange juice can give them, the type of toothpaste or mouthwash can give them, spicy foods, tomatoes, cheese, chocolate or a hormone imbalance as the pill can make them worse slightly. Also during the early & late 20's is when you are more common to get them rather than any other time in your life

Ugh, I had those when I had braces. Use some Ambesol, it'll numb your mouth. When your night gets used to the feeling without braces they'll go away
