Re: gum graft update: for michellefry29

[Guest guest]

You are bringing back memories of my two gum grafts, ! You're

right -- they don't hurt, but when they cut the skin from the roof of

your mouth -- oh my! " Medieval " is what I kept thinking while getting

the procedure.

You'll be amazed in about 10 days. The roof of your mouth will be

pretty much back to normal.

I am glad everything went good for you. Well hopefully the month will

go fast for you. It was bad enough for me when I couldn't brush the

teeth where I had the bone graft for a week. The periogard they give

you helps your mouth feel clean when you can't brush all of it. Well

I hope the graft takes nicely and it helps your teeth.
