Hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable for long.

I hate cleanings! They just buzz around with that painful little gizmo forever!
And, you are right. They always have something to say while they're doing it. "Oh, looks like we have a problem here that needs to be addressed."

This pain should only last for another 3 days or so. The novacaine injections finally wore off, so I need advil. It's not bad at all.

I think I had something like this done before. Where did they get the gum that they used? Mine was from the roof of my mouth. It worked great! It's kinda funny how many things I have forgotten about, lol! I'm glad your procedure is over with and I hope it heals quickly.

Five vicodin? That's just stupid You should at least be able to have some left over..in case of an emergency, of course

Oh, Judy, so hope this works!! and so glad your pain is not too bad. I've never had much dental work, just fillings and two crowns, but really don't like having anything done to my mouth. I forgot about the wisdom teeth a couple of years ago. Now that was not fun.

Hope all of this is successful and over for you very soon!!

That's what I had Betsi! It just makes me feel yucky, thinking about cutting into the roof of the mouth. I hope mine works as well.

When they were talking about getting the transplant ready, and it was a little piece of my gum, I thought it was so funny.

It seems like it took the roof of my mouth longer to heal than it did the actual site that it was placed. Of course I couldn't keep my tongue away from it. lol! Take care of yourself!

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!!

The roof of the mouth takes forever to heal! I once burnt the top/center with a hot french fry and I couldn't really eat for a month. They did this on the side, and they stitched it. The stitches last about a day. My tongue got at them.

Gina, you are right. 3 advil is the best. The first couple of days I took 1/2 vicodin at night.

I certainly hope you don't have pain and that you heal quickly. I just couldn't imagine.
