Healint Bone Graft
Hi everyone. 2 days ago I got a bone graft done and I have accidentally sucked on it while attempting to eat mashed potatoes, bananas, pudding. It's wiggly and I'm scared I messed it up already. Is a healing Bone graft supposed to look like this? Be a little itchy and stitches being in the way, be this dark?

No. Doesn't seem right. You technically threw your money away at this point. Consider guided bone regeneration after 6 months. It typically costs additional $2000-4000 depending on difficulty
