The last time we went for check-ups (I go every 3 months for a cleaning now) our dentist told my husband he had a concerning spot on his tongue.
We consulted with an oral surgeon and it's a hemangioma, and they're fairly certain it's benign, but they still recommend getting it removed. My husband is also scheduled to have 2 wisdom teeth extracted at the same time.
I know plenty of people who have had their wisdom teeth extracted, so I am familar with what to expect afterwards, but I don't know anything about how his tongue will heal.
Is that type of surgery very painful? Is the healing process painful?
I know he is worried, and I just wan to know what to expect so that I can do whatever possible to help him and comfort him.
