Hand hold please

[ExcuseeeeMe]

I know I’m over reacting but I’ve had a small lump in for mouth for 6 weeks now. Been pretending it’s not there and will disappear. Haven’t been able to sleep for worrying and I just bite the bullet and phoned the dentist . She sounded worried and has booked me in for 4pm. Im worried sick.

Well done. Get it checked get it dealt with.

I can give you a couple of I've had one of those stories if you like.

One was a friend and it was something dodgy but whipped out, no further treatment etc.

One is me - have one on the inside bottom of my mouth just under my lip. It's just a bump (there is a name beginning with m that I can't remember). It's been checked and it just sits there. I use it like a worry bead sometimes.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for replying . Mine is in a similar place to yours . Feels like a little ball bearing . I was expecting her to ask me to come down in February when she said today I was really shocked.

I’m so glad I’ve seen your post you have just described exactly what I have. Not gonna lie I’ve been putting off the doctors with it

Mucoceles are harmless and can stick around ages. It's good to get things checked just to be sure but it's much more likely to be something benign.

Maybe a tonsil stone? Or a calcium deposit? Either way, it’s best to get it checked out

@Holly03 if you have a lump in your mouth the doctor won't be able to look at it. I took my daughter with a benign tongue polyp and the GP said only the dentist can diagnose mouth issues. In the end it was the dentist who had to make the referral for surgery.

Hi I got an urgent referral for the hospital and was seen in two weeks. Turns out mine was just a swollen gland I was in and out in a few minutes . I would go to dentist and get your mind put at rest.
