Suggest treatment for dental abscess in the mouth
Patient: my dentist asked me to have xrays on my teeth because of a tooth seeping a little pus,thinking it was a absess now she has refered me to dental surgen because of a shadow on the jaw or under the wisdom tooth could it be something common and not somthing sinister like cancer Doctor: Hello and welcome.Thanks for sharing your concern.As you know the referral causes benefit to the patients,in a way that you get to know the exact cause and appropriate treatment.Therefore please do not worry at all.your present dentist would have asked you to see a dental surgeon,so that the lesion in relation to third molar could be identified and well diagnosed.How do you know it is cancer?The features of cancer are different.It could be a cyst or tumor(that is a mass of tissue).So please do as suggested and leave your worries to your concerned doctor after explaining your troubles.Wish you good health.Thanks.Take care.
