Hey guys. So I’m booked for 4 Nov to have old 2nd last molar roots that are left over from broken tooth removed.
I was at dentist just last week (Thursday). So my dentist has seen this & examined me….
So Where the molar roots remain is a round small mound on the side of my gum (it seems to come & go recently) Dentist examined whole mouth / teeth & did X-rays said it is small infection pouch that comes drains & goes .. & it will be fine once the old roots are removed.
This weird mound popped up after hitting my root gum with edge of a fork 1 & half weeks ago. It settled down after a few days & returned again.
I have health anxiety & was looking at his closely this morning & worried about the little pattern like the white dots or whatever you can see on the mound?
It doesn’t hurt at all it’s not tender & nothing else happening..
Dentist gave me amoxicillin to take the week before I have those old roots left over extracted.
I am worry wart & fear Dentist has missed something??? Pic for reference thank you
Yes I know teeth bad , I have a treatment plan sorted & removing these old molar roots is first priority
