The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if medical grade Manuka Honey works to lower pain and improve healing sites after gum grafting surgery. The main questions are: * Does medical grade Manuka honey lower pain and painkiller use after gum grafting surgery ? * Does medical grade Manuka honey boost healing after gum grafting surgery ? Researchers will compare, within the same patient, the results of a surgery with the application of Manuka honey in a retainer to a surgery without the application of honey in the retainer for the healing period. Participants will: * Visit the clinic for their first surgery. * Fill up a daily survey to explain their level of pain and the amount of painkiller drugs used. * Visit the clinic once every week for 6 weeks for follow-ups. * Visit the clinic for their second surgery, four weeks after the first one. * Fill up a daily survey to explain their level of pain and the amount of painkiller drugs used after the second surgery. * Visit the clinic once every week for 6 weeks for follow-ups on the second surgery * Fill a survey to compare both surgeries . * Visit the clinic 2 months, 6 months and one year after the surgeries for more follow-ups.
