I had a gum graft 4 days ago and accidentially pushed it sideways alittle i think while washing my face i didnt think i was usuing much pressure but i can taste alittle blood in my mouth.. im scared its moved and ive now caused it to provably fail.

I was wiping my makup off and it would have hit the very edge of one side pushing it to the other .
