View allI noticed a white lump on the inside of my cheek near my teeth this month after accidentally biting that spot last month. It seems to be growing, but I don't use tobacco or drink. Could this be mouth cancer? Is there any way to treat it naturally or without surgery? I'm really worried about this.
A white lump inside your cheek could be several things, including a benign condition like a bump caused by irritation, or potentially oral cancer, While some growths are benign and can be treated with topical or non-surgical options, others may require more aggressive treatment. It's crucial to consult a dentist or doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've had a gum infection for the past 4 days near my lower front teeth and I'm also undergoing RCT treatment. My dentist mentioned that if the infection doesn't clear up with the RCT, I might need surgery. Is gum surgery really the best option for this kind of infection? I'm worried about what the procedure involves and if there are other alternatives I should consider first.
sx is option only.

Who should I see for removing a mucous cyst a dentist or a dermatologist? I'm not sure which specialist handles this kind of thing and I'm a bit worried about getting it checked out
For a mucous cyst removal, you should consult a dentist or a dermatologist. Dermatologists commonly handle cysts on the skin, while a dentist would be the best choice for a mucous cyst located inside the mouth. If the cyst is causing discomfort or persists for more than a couple of weeks, it's recommended to seek professional help.
