I have receding gums, and I have to have a gum graft done on two of my teeth this Spring (two separate surgeries since they are the two canine teeth/on separate sides of the mouth). I think there are a couple of ways periodontists can perform this type of surgery, but I am having the graft taken from the roof of my mouth. Has anyone had this procedure done? Any advice on what to expect? My other question relates to the use of Valium/Diazepram. Since my blood pressure was on the high side for my consultation, I have to take a 5mg dose the night before and the morning of the surgery. I have never taken this, so I'm concerned how this will affect me. My husband will be driving me. Anyone else use this drug on short term basis like this? Will I be able to function normally in the morning?Thanks.
Bumping because my surgery on one tooth is Monday and I'm having second thoughts. I'm anxious and worried about recovery (although I know things went well for Matthew). I'm going to do some last minute research. Any other input here would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to cancel so late but I'm definitely wimping out here.
I am not an expert, but if you don't take good care of your gum, your teeth might fall out at some point.A dentist once told that gum once receded never goes back.Going through this surgery might be your best alternative. Teeth are precious.
