A worry is put to sleep and another takes its place.
Three weeks ago I went to my dentist and found out my inferior wisdom teeth are popping out (yay, I'm an adult now)
She said she will need an rx of my mouth to look at how they're positioned in my mouth, but that from what she can see, they need to go (at least the ones on the inferior arch)
I was good, not particularly scared.
This was on a Thursday 16th. Days later I accidentally bumped my face on a door🙄 exactly where the superior labial frenulum of the mouth is. No blood, just hurt but thought nothing of it.
Then, last thurstady I was brushing my teeth and saw something strange.
There is a strange skin tag protruding from the upper frenulum.. It doesn't hurt, it is mobile when I move it, it is like a tag attached directly to the frenulum and made of the same "substance" of the gum. It has the same color too.
I had my x rays the day after and nothing showed up, just the wisdom teeth that are in fact showing up and the subsequent inflammation of the inferior gum. Nothing more.
Now I have to wait my appointment next Thursday, but I'm scared of what this thing could be.
Of course the first thing I thought was cancer....
So, I'm in this rabbit hole again...
