In 2000 I noticed a lump on the roof of my
mouth, just on the right side. It became
painful. I went to va doctor who referred
me to ent.
The ent rudely told me it was a dental
problem without examining me and sent me
to the dental dept. The dental x-rays
showed a deteriation of the hard palate at
the location of the lump. (mri same year
showed a cyst in same sinus cavity)the va
dentist wanted to do a pulpotomy on all my
teeth, said it would fix problem.
I would not allow this and went home.
The pain eventuall subsided and the lump
was 'just there'. Now, in the last month,
the lump has become larger, sore and
fairly soft. When I press on it, I can
feel the pressure (sensation) in my right
nostril.
I do have an appointment (with va again)
in late march. Can anyone give me a heads
up on what to expect, could it really be a
dental problem??
