Gum not come.
Like any surgical site the goal is to allow healing without trauma or excessive irritation: gentle brushing, avoid aggressive materials (whitening or tarter control toothpastes), tooth whitening or carbonated drinks.
After a gum graft, you need to be careful with what you eat. Stick with a soft diet. Do not brush the area. Make sure that you schedule your follow-up appointment post-surgery. Have I answered all your questions? Thank you.
