A member asked:
When do i see full results after soft pedicle gum graft? been 2 weeks and still see a whitish/yellowish part at the gum line, also feels indented?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Put You On A Pedicle: It could take several weeks to heal sufficiently and then remodel to look smoother and more normal. The white is a pretty normal reaction in the mouth. But, really, you should check with your dentist, especially if it hurts a lot, oozes blood or some other gunk, the gum line starts to separate or you develop unholy bad breath. Don't you have a follow-up visit arranged?

I had gum graft surgery over 2 years ago and it still bothers me. The roof of my mouth still hurts and so does part of my tongue.
Had a bottom molar extracted 9 days ago. I started vaping very lightly on the 2nd day with gauze and vaping normally on day 5. My gums are not at all covered over yet, still see the blood clot (yellowish). Normal? No pain or bad taste?
Bottom molar removed 9 days ago. No pain, but socket looks filled with yellowish stuff. Is it still the clot I'm seeing? Been rinsing w/salt water, but could it be food? Photos of normal healing at 9 days just show indented gum, no scab like mine?
