First of all I am so thankful I found this site!!!!
I haven't been to the dentist in 18 years . 10 years ago one of my molars broke the next year the molar on the opposite side broke and 5 years after that my upper molar broke. (All that and I still didn't see a dentist) I made it through the pain of all of that and over a year ago I noticed a lump on the gum where the first molar broke. IT was an abcess now you would think I would go to the dentist after that,NOT!! I am so embarrassed I discovered a lump a month ago under my jaw close to my neck under where the broken molar is located. I brushed it off hoping it would go away. This past Tuesday I noticed it again but it wasn't any bigger. I am petrified that is cancer or something. I am so scared I actually made an appointment with a dentist for this coming Tuesday! I am sooooo scared!!! Does anyone know what this lump could be??? What can I expect when I go to the dentist for the first time after 18yrs with three broken molars???What kind of procedures will I need??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
