Title: Ouchies!!! Post by: indianasmith on November 21, 2014, 03:04:32 PM I had a surgical procedure called a "gum graft" this morning.
They cut a strip from the roof of my mouth about a half inch long, then stitched it to the gums in front of my lower incisors to replace some severely receded gum tissue there. I feel like someone hit me in the jaw with a baseball bat. :buggedout: :bluesad: Title: Re: Ouchies!!!
