Hello, Without knowing specifically what type of bone graft you are getting, it is a bit challenging to answer this question.  There are four main types of bone grafts: 1)  Socket Preservation -  this is a bone graft used to replace bone after a tooth has been extracted.  It fills the void left by the extracted tooth and prevents the sides of the socket from caving in 2)  Ridge augmentation -  If you have been missing teeth for a while, the supporting jaw bone may be thinner than it was before you had teeth extracted. Ridge augmentation increases the width and volume of the bone so it can provide a stable foundation for the placement of implants or other dental procedures 3)  Sinus Lift - If your upper back teeth are missing, the sinuses can drop down and invade the space once occupied by the tooth roots. This procedure raises the sinus back to its proper position to facilitate the placement of dental implants 4) Periodontal Bone Graft -  Infections from gum disease can erode the bone that supports the teeth.  A periodontal bone graft is placed around an existing tooth to reduce mobility and  provide additional support. Though you will probably feel back to normal within a week or two, complete dental bone graft healing can take between three to nine months, possible longer depending on the type of graft, the area in which the graft was placed and your bodys healing capacity.

Hello, Mild gum irritation may occur after a crown is cemented.  The irritation may last for a few days and if it happens it would be mild.  Persistent gum swelling should be evaluated, it is possible that you have a residual piece of cement around the crown under the gum. The cement can be very easily removed by your Dentist.  It is also possible that you have a periodontal issue associated with the tooth or that the nerve in the tooth is dying and causing an abscess.  I strongly recommend that you contact your  Dentist  as soon as possible for further evaluation.

You could develop cavities in between your teeth and the cavities could be very serious. Cavity development would be as a result of bacteria accumulating in between your teeth. In order for the cavities in between your teeth to be fixed, the braces would have to be removed. Also, your gums would get very unhealthy and you could develop Gingivitis or even Periodontitis.
I strongly recommend that you floss. You have nothing to gain by not flossing.

Hello, yes you absolutely can.  Rinse your denture under cold running water and then using a toothbrush, remove any debris that remains on the denture and rinse the denture for a final time.  Good luck :)
