Gum Grafting

I know, I know, I am weird, but I like photos, so that all of you know what the crap I just went through! Just FYI- dont google gum grafting because it will make you sick, literally, some of the photos on there are uh, a little to drastic for my taste. ANYWAYS: Today I had a minor surgery called gum grafting. One of my front teeth looked kinda like that 'before' photo, and now after my surgery today it looks more like the 'after' photo' :)

The procedure sounds nastier than it really was, but I am still on drugs they gave me, so dont take my word for it :) They take a piece of gum from the roof of your mouth (the only place gum regenerates) and sew it on where you teeth/roots need protecting, where the gum had receded. Basic, easy, 45 minuets your finished and driving your self home from the periodontist (who is a gum specialist)..... Unless your Samantha Dawn.... then your are freaking out, shakin in your boots for two weeks, knowing that this dentist is going to be cutting the roof of your mouth and sewing on your gums that aren't really even there and they wont even put you out for the procedure because "there will be some bleeding so we like to have you coherent" yes, I did freak out a little, but dont worry I tried to not to let it show :) I just made my mother drive me there because I figured if I was alone, I just might keep drivin on pass and "accidentally" forget my appointment :) No worries, I am 22 and had my mom take me an wait for me, no one knew I was a bit worried! haha

Well, just add it to my list. There it is finished and completed! I survived to tell the tale!
