Dentist return?

[Wilf1988]

Hi all

I have been battling dental anxiety this year and have done well thanks to a brilliant dentist...two extraction ls and a filling which is better than the last ten years.

I have had two white spots appear on my gum, they have been x rayed last week during treatment plan and no infection was there so scared I have another abscess.. they are how closed for Christmas and anxious that I am going to get ill from an infection.

Hi, regarding your fear of getting ill from an infection, you may find this thread from our Frequently Asked Questions section reassuring:

Can infections from teeth spread to the body?

Had an abscess over a year now. Probably closer to two. Cause me no bother at all and I have one of those little gum books next to the tooth so I know it’s draining. I am terrified of getting this tooth removed as I went to have it removed when it first abscessed. The dentist injected it about...

However, if nothing was showing up on the x-rays and your dentist wasn't concerned, it sounds as if there's probably nothing to worry about?

Congratulations on doing so well with your battle against dental anxiety, and finding a great dentist ?!!

I'll tell you what wilf1988, whatever issues you've had with your teeth, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight! Amazing you spotted those teeny spots.

The good news is they are just tiny little indiviual mucous glands that produce stuff that helps lubricate your mouth. They are common all over the inside of the mouth.
The adjacent teeth all look very healthy. I'd say you are winning your dental battle.
