Hi @heatchad, @colleenyoung brought me into this discussion and I see that you’re experiencing mouth pain?

Can you tell me a little more about what you’re feeling? I’m going to ask a few questions that might narrow things down and it might help with your discussion with the surgeon tomorrow…
Where the pain is located? Is it sharp or a dull/ache? A Zapping pain?
On the top or the bottom? In your cheek area or under the tongue, or in the jawbone? Is this in your TMJ area? Both sides or one?
Are your teeth sensitive to hot and cold? Or chewing?
If you bite slowly together, does one tooth touch the opposing tooth first?

I noticed in your next reply, that you had gum graft surgery. It does take a little while to fully recover, that discomfort is localized and shouldn’t be causing any other mouth issues for you and certainly not going on 3 months. It’s awful being so miserable that long.

I echo Colleen in that it’s good you’re seeing a surgeon/pain specialist tomorrow. Will you let me know what they say?

Roof of mouth feels fuzzy almost like it’s peeling and sometimes feels dry and then sometimes slimy then dull pain creeps up throughout the day on bottom back four teeth area.It feels tight and light throbbing. No actual tooth pain. All teeth were checked for sensitivity yesterday at regular dentist. Full panorama X-rays and she said everything looks good. Both dentist and perio said gum graft looks great
