Gum Grafting

Had it done few years ago. If you hadn't had the procedure , this is what the dental specialist does, they slice a piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth, and stitch it to the receding gums. Once the bleeding stops from the roof of your mouth, you can drink right away and eat by chewing only with the the teeth not affected by the graft (in my caae , with my molars , since I had the graft done for my lower front teeth) for about a week. To make it easier to eat, I pureed my food or chopped it into to smaller pieces. Avoid any physical labour (it speeds the healing process) since it raises your pulse and blood pressure in the mouth, I took a few days off work.
My dental specialist was an absolute stunning beautiful Indian (east asian) babe about 30 years old with a hot body, made the procedure worth while. She was hotter than any of the east indian news reporters that you see on tv. Looked forward to the follow up appt. with her to remove the stitches.

I had it done today, and I'm recovering from it now.
It's a lot more painful than I thought it would be.
Thankfully my periodontist gave me strong painkillers

My instructions said you have to wait 24 hours before drinking alcohol
Interesting. I did not take any of the painkillers. Kept them for future reference. Going for a second round next week. They want me to go 5 times. $ 11,000.00 total.I had it done today, and I'm recovering from it now.

Yup, its not cheap. I only had to get the bottom four teeth done, but it cost me $3,500.
What's interesting is that my lymph gland is swollen from the surgery.
Turns out this is a normal reaction

Yeah, don't know if being in the downtown business area is a reason. Also, my dental benefit at work is very small. $1000.00 a year.
Oh. I have not done the bottom yet. Later on. Many years ago I had one upper tooth done. Different guy and he was open to alloderm when I asked. He is no longer there and this guy I have now does not like alloderm.
PSA for everyone who reads this, receding gums and gum disease is easy to prevent. Just don't use a hard toothbrush, and don't brush your teeth too hard.
Use a soft toothbrush instead, and brush softly.
Periogard makes the best soft toothbrushes

True. A little creepy but I would think the roof of your mouth would endorse it.Alloderm is taken from cadavers???!!!
This +1.Don't let them harvest gum tissue from your palette... Let them use the zombie/lab-grown tissue. I had it done years ago and it was easy. (I raped my gums with hard brushing... but I'm cavity-free!!!)
Maybe some perios avoid it because it takes more skill and/or experience?

Harvesting from your palette seemed to be way more difficult. My Perio waved the Zombie tissue in front of my face as the Easy Button and he was correct.
PS - It was after that gum surgery that I started banging SPs. Must have been the cadavers' previous life. I'm a victim.
Dr. said my teeth are all right. But the gums have to come out. I need to see your girl. Contact info please.
Just be thankful the donor wasn't a fentanyl addict
