A member asked:
Bone graft left molar, 4 weeks post surgery check up went well, skin has healed, chewing & brush is allowed. can touching still damage graft results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely : Most likely not a problem. Normally after 4 weeks the graft is already covered with soft tissue ( gum) and touching the area should have no adverse effects. Hope that helps
