Biopsy needed after cleaning

[Mikey Boy]

Well, this is one of the more harder posts that I’ve had to make on here. I like to take myself as a very go lucky happy person, but today I’m definitely not feeling happy or lucky.

So I went in today, just for normal cleaning, nothing too crazy. I needed to get some x-rays done because my new dentist wanted to get an updated look on everything. and answers the cleaning was done my dentist noted something under my tongue that she did not like, so he had the dentist look at it and after further evaluation, she decided that she wanted to get a second opinion on it, so I scheduled the appointment for consultation, local oral surgery that’s close by my house.

I’m not gonna lie i’m very nervous about it, and I’m very scared and I could really use some support right now

Hi @Mikey Boy, well done for going for your cleaning today! A "biopsy" is a very routine thing, it's just a bit of tissue taken for proper diagnosis in a lab. It does NOT mean that there is a cancer present. In fact in the vast majority of cases, cancer isn't even considered. It's just done to determine exactly what it is and whether it needs any treatment/medication. So please don't get worked over it

When is your appointment for the consultation?

I would be nervous too but hopefully it is nothing serious and if it is you will be able to handle it ! We can handle much more than we think. The unknown is so stressful.
