Hello doctor,
I had a tooth filling before putting on some braces, but the tooth keeps hurting four months after the filling, and my breath smells bad as before the decay to the point that my pillows also smells bad now.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Good evening sir. I hope you are well. Thank you for approaching icliniq. I saw your query. I will help you to solve the issue. Bad breaths may be due to dental caries, and fillings can be done with dental braces. So do not worry. Take an orthopantomogram and check if any secondary caries have developed. Thank you, follow up with further details.
Thank you doctor for your reply.
I will see another dentist and follow up with you.
Regards.

- Take salt water rinse.
- Take mouth wash.
- Use interdental brushes given for braces.
- Take pain killers.
I will suggest the mild pain killers, after knowing your medical history.
- Gargle after every meals.
- Take proper diet.
Usually, braces itself will have food deposits and cause Halitosis (bad breath). Do not worry. The bad breath will get alright soon. These will give temporary relief. Follow up for further details.
