Hey
I know some of you are students but I would still like some advice as I have a dentists appointment on monday aug15 but I'm pretty worried right now.
So I went to my doctor yesterday for something unrelated and while I was there I remebered to ask him about this discoloration on my gums(right side , upper area). It kinda brown/darkish about 1/2 inch long 1/4 inch wide. He said it looked like (I'm not sure if I'm saying this right) "melentosis" and that I should have my dentist look at it...it might have to be biopsy(MIGHT).
I was just at my dentist a month ago for filling on that side and they took xrays and stuff but my dentist didn't say anything...but I only saw it 2 days ago as I'm always checking my gums.
What could this be?
Can I post a picture? I will do so when I get home tonight if I'm allowed to.
Anyhoo I'm just looking for answers between now and monday as I can't seem to relax.Even if your answers are wrong please don't be afraid to post up
