Does coffee give you mouth ulcers?
I'm pretty sure I can see a direct link between coffee and my mouth ulcers. I've been dealing with them for yours and while coffee is not the only triggering factor, its the most blatant cause.
I'm beginning to think its the process of hot coffee moving through my mouth and gums that causes them as opposed to just having coffee in my system. I say this because I've recently been drinking Iced Coffee with a straw and didn't have any occurrence of mouth ulcers, as the liquid doesn't go through the front of my mouth.
It doesn't seem to be hot drinks in general or caffeine as hot tea and soda causes no issue for me.
Is a gingival graft surgery dangerous?
IF you have a good periodontist (and you should do the necessary research to find a good one beforehand) then the risks are minimal. There is a slight risk of nerve injury (numbness or hot/cold sensitivity) at the roof of your mouth where they take the graft, but the risk is minimal. I've had the procedure done twice, for five different (lower front) teeth in total, and I've experienced no problems. The operation itself wasn't pleasant, but there really was no pain to speak of either the day of surgery or in the days after. I didn't fill the prescription for codeine either time, and I didn't even take ibuprofen after the second day. You *will* have to adjust your diet for a week or so, cutting your food into bite size pieces and chewing on one side of your mouth only. But it's a small inconvenience.
