Oral Cancer |
Cancer in side of tooth08/17/2008 10:13AM |
my freinds mother had a pain on the tooth.she went to the dentist and he told that puss was coming out from the side of the tooth.he operated and take out the puss.but after 6 months it again came.she is worried that if it is a cancer.can you tell me is this a cancer?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine this per your description. I would recommend she seek further follow-up for this with an oral surgeon or ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist.
