Basically it's like callused skin that you get on your feet! I have crooked teeth and a tooth that catches on the graft where it meets the top side of my tongue. Over the past couple months the skin has thickened there and become firm and ridgid.
Saw my surgeon last week and said he could trim it up a bit. I figured it was something he could do in the office but it's a daycare surgery event.
Anyone else have this done??
I really hope it doesn't make my lingual nerve pain any worse.
