Does a gum graft hurt?
Depending on extent of the work, source of graft (autogenous vs non autogenous) and the technique used, pain may vary. If a palatal stent is made in case of harvesting your own tissue, it can significantly reduce your discomfort, in addition to that analgesics are prescribed by your doctor to help alleviate your pain.

Bad gum recession
Switch to an ultrasoft toothbrush, and make sure you are brushing gently, not with excessive force. In the meantime, you can use antisensitivity toothpastes such as Sensodyne and also Prevident gel (fluoride gel) or MI paste to be applied on the surfaces where you are sensitive, 2-3 times daily. You might feel decreased sensitivity within a month or so of applying these products. Be mindful of the fact that oftentimes, gum grafting is not the remedy to cure sensitivity because we don't achieve complete root coverage. Sensitivity is mostly managed by mineralizing agents and, in extreme cases, a tooth-colored filling could be considered three months after gum grafting in the area that remains sensitive. READ MORE
How do I prevent gum disease?
Gum disease is mainly due to prolonged accumulation of microbes around your gums and teeth. Smoking, diabetes, poor oral hygiene and genetics also play an important rule for susceptibility of an individual to gum disease, best way to prevent it is to do proper brushing & flossing, to get cleanings twice daily and to have dental check-ups to make sure you are not having gum disease and if you ever have it, make sure to see a gum specialist (periodontist).

What could happen when I get my gum surgery?
Some degree of bruising, swelling, oozing is expected after gum surgery and usually disappears within a week to 10 days after surgery. There is possibility of infection (Less than 5% of cases), numbness (depending on the region and proximity to nerves innervating the area), graft failure (5-10% of cases), It's important to know that gum grafting in general whether with ur own tissue or cadaver tissue is amongst the highly successful procedures periodontists offer, however each & every surgery that we do has its own complication rate associated with it. Recovery is less than a week for early healing, (sutures are removed within a week to 2 weeks after surgery) and pain/bruising could be managed with analgesics and steroids to a great degree.

Do I need gum surgery?
Bleeding gums is mostly a sign of gum inflammation which could vary from mild gum disease to severe gum disease, either way, you need to see a dentist to evaluate whether you need a prophy or deep cleaning (scaling & root planing), Most patients with bleeding gum that have not had proper cleanings in years, have major improvement after their hygiene visits. Some cases tho, might need gum surgery later on for management of remaining inflammation. It is hard to guess what you would need without seeing the clinical scenario but make sure to see a dentist for a check up. READ MORE
