Does it really hurt to get a graft for your gums...?? Do they put you under anesthesia at least or novacaine?

I had this surgery done exactly one year ago. The surgery itself didn't hurt, I had heavy doses of laughing gas, I was barely even there when they did the surgery. I will tell you though, I tasted all of the blood. That was by far the worst part when they cut the gums. Its deffinitley not fun.
Afterwards, I passed out from the mix of blood and laughing gas. I was in pain for about four days (they gave me prescription pain killers, but I found otc ibuprofen worked so much better) The stitches were deffinitley an inconvience as well, I was so thankful when those came out
Make sure when you have the surgery done that you don't play any sports or do any rough-housing. A friend of mine had this surgery done as well, he simply hopped over a small rock on the street when his stitches popped out when he landed. This was a disaster.
I hope I didn't freak you out. Just be expecting alot of uncomfortable-ness. The surgery itself didn't hurt, it was the recovery that was the worst. Best of luck.

It doesn't hurt all that badly. They'll give you novocaine for the incision area and the place on the roof of your mouth where they take the graft. The stitches will be covered up with a sort of hard plastic stuff that will allow you to eat and drink without getting anything into the incisions. You'll be uncomfortable for a couple of days, but it's not enormously painful.
Hope this helps.
