(But I had eaten cheese on toast for tea-so I’m not sure if it was trapped food or discharge. Sorry, gross I know!)
I see my dentist every 6 months for check ups, and also a hygienist every 3 months, and neither have mentioned this to me before, but I guess it’s easy to miss!
Does anyone know if it is normal anatomy stuff? I cannot find one on the opposite side. I’m not due to see my dentist til March, but I’m wondering whether I should bring it forward?
I don’t want to go down a new rabbit hole if oral cancer, but I’ve spent the past 2 hours looking at diagrams of the soft palate, and I cannot find anything that looks like this!
I believe these are tonsil stones you’ve pushed out! Gunk collects in that area and people push it out using a cotton bug (you can find videos online to see its the same area you are talking about). You must have a strong gag reflex lol! X
