What not to do after pinhole gum surgery

Anyone have trouble not brushing their teeth for 6 weeks afterwards?

Might as well put me in a coma for 6 weeks after the surgery and wake me up when 6 week past.

Two weeks ago i had PRF pinhole on upper jaw. They made me a new bone with sticky swiss bone, they put collagen stripes and my blood plasma. After 10 days my gums look beautiful! Yesterday i had the same thing on my lower jaw. I am now healing and hoping that it will also be great. 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you for explaining that the main thing with those precautions is to not move the gum from the new position. I had pinhole surgery 2 days ago on tooth 25 and 24. The doctor said he never had to work on such thin gum and he seemed to really struggle during this procedure so I was really worried that it could tear. I had the first check up today and the doctor was happy with it and seemed kind of relieved. It was planed that I get an inlay on tooth 19 but the inlay was not delivered on time (this was the second attempt after the first inlay was not placed properly). The doctor said we should do this next week. I would not have been able to open my mouth due to swelling today, but also hope that one week after pinhole surgery will be enough. I'm worried that the gum could move. Also tooth 25 needs to be done again in about a year, because the doctor said he wasn't able to place the gum as high as tooth 24. I get it, the gum there was teared due to an accident about 15 years ago, so I'm glad he was able to lift it at all. Hope the gum stays in place, I'm trying my best to follow the instructions, even though it is not easy.

Great dental video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍))))

Thumbs up! Thank u for this video, I was considering one fine day in the future to do pinhole surgery due to my gum recession because of aggressive brushing in the past. I am very very careful now but the past damage has been done. Seeing the list of don't dos...errr... kinda puts me off. Won't not brushing and flossing for 6 weeks cause cavities Dr?

I got the pinhole procedure done about two weeks ago: two teeth on the sides, and my two front upper teeth. I smiled today and saw the gum line of my front two teeth - will this affect healing or push back the gum line? I'm having a ton of anxiety about it, and I'm worried I've messed everything up already. Any feedback or guidance for trusting the process?

I’ve had two gum grafts and a pinhole…none of them worked and if anything I think they made it worse. Been following all instructions too. This has been going on for months. So fed up.

I’m very worried that it’s failing because the spots on my gums that were fixed are white, and I can’t tell if it’s the collagen strips? Or if it’s healing, I’m very very worried

Why isn't the gingiva sutured in the new position to prevent any receding to the previous position? Doesn't that help the patient?

How does this affect eating? It is very much stressed not to touch it but how do you avoid this while eating?

He looks like Louis de Funès

3 teeth one mouth out. Unfortunately this procedure hasn't worked as well for me 😞 but aside from the continued swelling I've experienced, the procedure itself was painless

I have recession on my 2 lower tooth in front will pinhole work on it please help

I just had gum graft on 2 front middle lower teeth. The gum was recessed from havung a peircing in my youth. Im 44 now. They numbed me up alot which hurt a little. Then they procedure took 25 minutes. There was blood but I didnt feel anything. The pressure and sounds are not fun. None of this is fun. It sucks actually. I went to cvs after to get medicated rinse and pennicillion to protect from infection. Im home now laying in bed 3 hours after. Pain has settled in and its pretty shitty. I can tell eating is going to be next to impossible the next few days. Im scared to move my mouth at all cause i want this to heal. Im going to bring a que card with me to work saying" had gum graft, cant talk" i think ill use a sick day tommorow and rest

Is this an alternative for bone grafting?

I had the pinhole procedure on my two canines and one of my first molars five weeks ago that was succesful, but I've noticed that a small space has formed in between my central incisors directly posterior to the gumline, and I'm concerned my central incisor interdental papilla has receded slightly since the procedure (no issues with recession on the tooth before), could this be due to the procedure? If so, how and do you think it will go away?

I’m 6 weeks post pinhole. They did all my top teeth. He said to brush lightly but didn’t give me a soft toothbrush like I thought he was supposed to. I bought one and have been brushing. Is that ok? Is flossing gently ok? He said it would be but there’s so much conflicting information out there is so hard to know what’s right!

I have a dental appointment next week and have plans to do the pinhole surgery. Who wants to pay thousands of dollars only for something to go wrong within the next 6 weeks post surgery. That is almost 2 month we are talking about. Just save your money people.

I have receding gums but I truly dont know if I want to do this surgery or not because of the high fail rate I read online. Of course, people are much more likely to complain if the surgery didn't work out for them. However, it leaves me with a completely unclear idea of what the true succes rate could be. :(
