How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

So this surgery happened because I bought one of those toothbrushes with the rubber bristles on the sides, thinking that it was perfectly fine to switch toothbrushes. 3 months later my dentist exclaims "He needs a gum graft!"
So I go through the process, obviously I ask if it is necessary (but doctors will tell you anything to come back I guess). I can't find any picture of before the surgery, but I was told that teeth would fall out eventually. So I did it with hesitation.
I don't remember any pain during or after the surgery. Just alot of ice and stuff. It seemed to go fine. I continued on with my life. 6 months later I get squishy feelings in my ears when I open my mouth. 3 months later, I'm popping my jaw constantly to get relief. I go to a few doctors before I find a TMJ Doc who prescribes an expensive splint. I refuse to pay it, and I continue on.
5 years later, I still have this problem to some degree. It could be a coincidence that my malocclusion and gum graft happened at the same time, but I like to think that this surgery kickstarted my TMJ problem and jaw pain. But it's hard to isolate the two without fixing them both.

He seemed to do a fine job, certainly not the worst.
