Hi, I had a dental bone graft a week ago. I was prescribed mouthwash and pain meds. At three days my stitches holder came out. Today my face is very sore and swollen a little. The Dr. called in a antibiotic for me to start taking. My question is how long does it take for the flap of gum to recede or go away? And is it normal to have such pain at week?
