Sorry if this a bit long
About 4 weeks ago I found a lump on the inside of my right cheek( small and painless. I kept thinking it was cancer, the doctor thinks i've been grinding my teeth in my sleep and caught the skin in my mouth and id have to agree with it. Im terrified of seeing a dentist ( I also suffer from agoraphobia, depression and anxiety ) but I know that I have to.
2 weeks ago I tried to get an appointment to see a dentist ( I tried 3 that had been recomended and close, hard to travel far cos of agoraphobia) but they are not taking any new patients so im on a waiting list with one of them.
Ive had problems with my teeth for years (a few are bad and need taking out) but ive only recently been able to leave the house with someone with me. Anyway now my left cheek is swollen with no pain, still got the other lump and I really need a dentist to check me out but none will see me. Im just trying to get over a bad case of tonsillitis but I think my teeth are the cause of the problem. Im terrified that my teeth problem is very serious.
Any advice would be very welcome.
