Re: Those who have had gum grafts

[Guest guest]

I had two grafts done both on upper jaw on each side. Everything went

rather quick and I was able to go right back to work that afternoon

the perio work was performed. A little bleeding from the sites but

nothing to drastic. They took tissue from the top of my mouth for the

two grafts and so the top of my mouth was tender also. You might want

to check about getting your teeth cleaned so close afterwards because

the areas will need time to recover, maybe get them cleaned

beforehand. Over the counter ibuprofen worked for me.

Good luck
