Cyst

[vietxboy911]

Hello, I know SRF is not a medical forum, but I need some generic info on this one probelm that has occured this morning

I found out that I have a small, painless bump in my mouth, on my upper right side of it. I had no idea why it appeared, but so far it hasnt bothered me. I didnt notice it afterwards untill recently, and I dont know what to do. It doesnt prevent me from doing anything like eating.

So I googled, and came across this link
http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/iht ... /pr.3.html
and the desciprtion is similar I guess to this thing on my gum; then i found this part

The most common cyst found in the mouth is the apical periodontal cyst. It develops as a result of an infection in the tooth pulp, or nerve. This infection typically is caused by decay.

I have to get a root canal for one of my teeth, which is near this bump. I got most of it cleaned out awhile ago, and had a temporary filling filled in but I think it fell out. ( I havnt gone to get it yet because of insurnce stuff )

So if anyone has ever had this experince, please tell me what you did in order to get it away, or to anyone who has generic info on this before I go get it checked out by a doctor, thanks.

You have cancer.

Wrong step to ask here.
But anyways, do you use brackets? i think thats why.
But just get a good hygiene or it will get infected and will get annoying as heck (you wont be even able to eat) but is not a big thing to get freaked.

Man thats awesome. Bight it whenever you get thirsty, oh the convenience.

My father's had cancer in his mouth/throat.

If it was you would definitely know it, that shit isn't painless.

Why was there blood in the shit I just took?

This is now a medical diagnostics thread.

if you have a cyst go to the doctor so they can inspect it to insure it isnt malignant. they can also use a needle to suck the nasty shit out.

If it's a small painless lump on the surface then you can just wait for a week or two before it completely disappears. You sometimes get those with burns or mild infections. If it doesn't, then it would be worthwhile to schedule an appointment with your physician/dentist, just in case. You really can't guess with these things - which is exactly why your doctor would need to do a biopsy if he suspects less than benign.



(Also, Lol @ Cell's sig. Seriously? )

Ok, ill just see if it goes away in a week, it hasnt changed so far.

And no sh1t, i know this isnt a medical forum, why do you think i posted in the OT. Besides getting your post count up, its useless to say so, if u want to talk about Sro theres 5 subsections for that
