Frenectomy Recovery

[rachelheidee]

I just had an upper frenectomy, and as the local anesthetic is wearing off, pain is kicking in, they gave us a perscription but the nurse said we really wont need it. I have ibuprofen in me, but the pain still persists.

The nurse didn't have the surgery... you did!!  Take the pain medication as prescribed by your doctor and call him/her if you have any questions or concerns about how you are feeling.

The procedure can be very painful in some cases.
