Oh Judy... Gum surgery.. does it ever end??? I feel for you g/f. Vicodin never worked for me just made me feel like I was in la la land. lol what help me with the pain was Motrin the heavy duty prescribed stuff.
I hope that the gum takes and your be smiling again. I know from experience that when you start with dental work it never ends . The dentists are like mechanics they always find something wrong and want to replace lol.
Feel better!!
