Oral Surgery Scheduled

[ndrosen]

I spent most of the afternoon going to, seeing, and returning from the periodontist. I have made an appointment for gum surgery on the lower left side of my mouth in October, and then for more on the lower right in December. I’m glad that I live in an age when this kind of thing is possible, but I’m still not looking forward to the operations themselves, or to the recovery.

Then I will be able to make another appointment later, for more gum surgery in the lower center of my mouth.

Eek! What's all the surgery for?

[ndrosen]

I have a problem with receding gums, so Dr. Chaddad will take some tissue from my palate, and graft it onto the gums, where, if all goes well, it will attach properly, and help protect the roots of my teeth.

My gums are receding a bit too, but nothing like that. I hope the treatments all go well for you.
