Why When you get braces people say to eat soap?
Question:
WHY?!!
Answers:
I was a dental/ortho assistant for a long time and never have I heard a dentist tell someone or myself told someone to eat soap. The general suggestion is Soup. Others you might want to try are yogurt, Ice Cream, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, or anything soft that you don't have to bite hard into.
Hope that helps!
What? Never heard that. Maybe they said "soup" - you know something that you didn'thave to chew that much.
I never heard of that before. I would not do it though. Take a pain releiver instead.
they probably said soup...
cant be soap..that'll make you sick.
I would not eat the soap, plus I doubt that's what they said. I had braces too and I never heard of that for the six years I had them. Try soup, yougut, smoothies, milkshakes, Jello, and anything else kind of mushy that will fill you up. Good luck with your braces!
I have never heard of soap ... for pain you take motrin, and you should keep up maintenance with a water pick, use the wax for sore spots and keep to soft foods for the first 2 weeks.
