I Had a Gum Graft

I was searching for more personal information before a recent gum graft, but found a lot of it outdated, so hope this helps. Note: I am single and childless, so this was much easier planning-wise. (Sorry for length, but wanted to...

2008-09-27: Gum (Gingival) Grafts--Just say, "No!"
I recently went to my dentist to get a damaged bridge replaced.  She suggested that she could improve the fit and appearance of one of the prosthetics if I got some gum...

Years ago-- in the last of my teenage years, I bit into a seemingly innocuous kernel of popcorn. It was popped and everything. Delicious as it was, it had a nefarious mission to complete-- sending me on a mission to the most tortuous...

Poor VAGreg must have had his graft done a long time ago. I just had one done a few days ago and it was nothing like that - the procedure was entirely pain-free (except when the periodontist leaned on my hair . . . ) and the aftermath...

I had no idea it was going to be this bad. No idea... I feel like an idiot now because I was soooo clueless about this procedure. In my defense, my dentist never forewarned me either! So, here goes...
Two and half weeks ago...

So I will start by saying even with being a nurse, I had no idea what to expect. The worst part about the actual procedure were the needles to numb my mouth. After that, I literally did not feel one thing. I was completely awake through...

Hi all,

Just joined this group to vent, I suppose. I had two gum grafts (front, top and bottom teeth) about a week ago. The surgery was fine, pretty much as I expected. I hate that I have to be awake for these things as it seems many...

I had a gum graft + frenectomy this morning. It was not bad at all! I am surprised that so far, I still feel no pain. The procedure was very easy. They gave me some kind of drug to calm me down when I got there half an hour early, which...

My experience was very similar to Parallel's and nothing like PoorVA's.

I asked around and received a referral to a good, experienced periodontist.  I did not medicate prior to the proceedure and it was almost painless. ...

I felt compelled to write my positive experience about this surgery, since I came to this board before I had it done and read so many negative stories.

I had my surgery done 8 days ago on 4/2. The procedure was painless. I know some...

Went yesterday ay 915 was out by 1045. I was nervous but he doctor and the nurse were great. Answered any and all questions. First put numbing gel on roof of mouth then three shots of Novacain same for bottom right area. The procedure...

Last month I had a gum graft done on my front bottom tooth, and I later found out that there are 2 ways to do a gum graft. I recently went in again and got 2 more bottom teeth done on the right side, and this time it was actually easier...

My first gum graft was done two years ago. Two teeth on the lower left side had receded due to vigorous brushing on my part. The donor site was the roof of my mouth---same side. The pain centered around the roof of my mouth for a good...

When will the pain stop?  I tried to go to work today but only made it half way because of the pain.

I had a gingival graft.  Flesh was removed from the right side of my pallet and grafted in as connective tissue to the...

I had a gum graft (on 6 teeth) a week ago, here's my story.
Backstory - I've had recession for years (fairly severe on 1 tooth, moderate on 5 others).  My dentist would measure the recession at every cleaning and it never...

I had a gum graft yesterday afternoon. It was nothing. I'm in no pain. I was pretty scared from reading some of the experiences here, but I'm happy to say it went very well.
I have two areas that need a gum graft. One above a tooth in...

Went yesterday ay 915 was out by 1045. I was nervous but he doctor and the nurse were great. Answered any and all questions. First put numbing gel on roof of mouth then three shots of Novacain same for bottom right area. The procedure...

The day before my gum graft, I searched the internet to get a better understanding of the procedure - huge mistake! I read far too many horror stories... This is what happened to me: The morning of my procedure, my parents came over and...

Alright so let me start with a introduction. My name is kaitlyn and i am 21 years old.. guess thats all you really need to know lol.Oh and my spellings not the greatest so bare with me if theres some spelling mistakes. Okay so i just...

I had gum tissue transplant surgery 6 days ago and I am doing fine.  This is my third experience, and has been the least troublesome.   New periodontist this time.  I took 1 pain pill when I got home, and never...
