My last checkup was very good. My new gums have receded a little bit,
but I knew that this was to be expected. Hopefully they won't recede much more, but I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. Overall I'm much better off than before. The periodontist said that he is much more concerned with the thickness of the gums than how high they go up onto the teeth. He was very pleased with the thickness. He doesn't want to see me again until January.As for my oral hygiene routine, he told me to do everything I would have normally done before the surgery. He said that the worst risk at this point is not keeping the new gum tissue healthy enough. If any periodontal disease kicked in, the new gums would recede even more. So, I'm doing my best to keep things clean and healthy.
