Answer #1

my friend used to suck on ice. im not sure if it actually helped or she just liked eating ice, but you could always try eating something sucking on ice or eating something cold.

Answer #2

i’ll try that thanks :))

Answer #3

Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are very effective. I had a brace and it was horrible every time they tightened it - not during, but a couple of hours after, and in the morning. Take the pills just before, and by the time the pain should be kicking in, so should the medicine :) and like Lizzie said, cold things do help somewhat. So ice cream is must really - i find it works better than ice as it gets around more.

Answer #4

Also teething powders or teething gels help to numb the area and help for the pain and like the above said, ibuprofen as well as ice helps.

Answer #5
