    Oral cancer this time...

    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...

    You have been seen by a dentist and they would have spotted cancer so it can't be that. Please don't go down the rabbit hole again.

    Thanks for your reply. I don't think there was this bump when I went to the dentist. It appeared after I bumped on the door with my face. I don't know what it is

    Sorry... I would say that this bubble is due to the trauma, maybe, but I'm not a dentist 😅

    I'm not particularly scared, I think I'm just tired... Tired of every new symptom that keeps popping out every week, month or so 😅 I'm tired
