tldr: a gum graft isn't fun, but I would be less afraid of another one.
In the last month I've had a gum graft of one tooth, in-office ingrown toenail surgery, and a terrible cold.
All sucked, caused pain, and were annoying.
But they weren't equally sucky, painful, or annoying:
While I wouldn't look forward to any of them again, the worst has been the ingrown toenail, followed by the bad cold, then the gum graft.
In fact, if given the choice I'd take two gum grafts for every ingrown toenail (maybe even three or four), and 1.5 gum grafts for every bad cold.
A gum graft can be handled, I've found.
I said all that to say this: if you are facing a gum graft, you'll be okay.
