How To Heal The Gums?
my husband had surgery and required a breathing tube - while inserting the breathing tube the anesthesiologist actually gouged his gum so badly that bone is showing..he's going to see a periodontist but i wanted to know if we should expect that a gum graft would be the only way to repair damage such as this thank you

would have been better if i would have seen the defect to suggest ...Ya gum graft is the good option there are also other option like cornally positioned flap which ur periodontist will explain u ...dont worry its a minimally invasive procedure and he will be fine...
