A member asked:
What are main symptoms of failed bone graft to gums?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See periodontist : Pain, infection are a few visible symptoms. There may be others that need to be evaluated by the periodontist and by x-ray. If you have concerns return to your periodontist. If it wasn't performed by a periodontist then maybe you should be seeing one. An oral surgeon is also an option.
