Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Does chewing ever get easier with numb gums? I just had SARPE, and I guess the bone structures aren't going to heal for a while during the expansion...but my doctor today said I could start chewing as tolerated. I still can't!! He said the numbness could last up to 18 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep trying, your body will adapt. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
