Hello everyone,
sorry for being a pest :-( normally I wouldnīt post that much, but Iīm studying abroad now and since Iīm real short on cash, I know I canīt afford to go to a docīs and that sends me over the edge. Normally when Iīm home, this wouldnīt happen or Iīd just go to a docīs for reassurance, but here my insurance only pays for emergencies and this is obviously not the case :-(
Thereīs a growth inside my mouth, right by the molars, where two teeth meet. It looks kind of as if the gums were overgrown, itīs just this soft patch of tissue partly covering my tooth, kind of longish, a bit lighter in color than the rest, but not completely white. It doesnīt hurt in any way, itīs just there. I go for regular dental check ups, last one was in December and I know it was there, but smaller and I didnīt really pay attention to it. Now it grew, only by a few mm, but it did grow. I wish I could just go to the dentist to get that checked, Iīm so scared and the fact that I canīt visit a specialist is freaking me out. What if itīs the big C? I mean, Iīm 25, never smoked a single cigarette and I drink like maybe two or three beers a month.
I couldnīt sleep last night, I was so anxious. I tried reading the other posts, but didnīt find anyone describing the same problem. Iīm panicking. Reassurance anyone?
Thank you.
