Toothless Grinning

Morning after Gum Grafting

I was under the knife again yesterday afternoon to have gums grafted.  They took tissue from my palate and stitched it around the implant site.  I haven’t looked inside my mouth yet.  I am good on pain this morning and only the tiniest bit of swelling.

This will require 8 weeks of healing.  My surgeon felt this will give me the best outcome and ensure healthy gums as I didn’t have a lot of gum to work with and they were thin.

They made a splent for me that protects the roof of my mouth and graft area.  I am to expect the feeling of a major pizza burn on the roof of my mouth, so I am waiting for that.  

Bye BHI
