For years i have had a "cyst" in my mouth under my top lip above my gum that would puff up and every few days i would push on it until it popped and drained. I told my pm who told me to go to a dentist who didn't really do again except say he could lance it if it was full(it wasn't and told me to go to a ortho surgeon or something. Needless to say i didn't have the money and still don't. so anyone who has anything wrong with their mouth and is poor or lacking dental insurance has no choice to get looked out. A few weeks ago it stopped draining mucus like stuff and got hard! Now i am wondering...hoping it's just scar tissure and nothing worse!
It's a hard like ball.
what can i do?

oh geez i have no idea and i am so sorry
the only time i have had anything like that it ended up being an abcess from an infected root of a tooth
i rinse with salt water alot..same thing cant go to the dentist...no moolah
;i have busted teeth, etc etc...
if i could save enough money there is a dental school that seems to be cheaper than anything else, altho out of my price range
so wish i could tell you anything helpful
all i can do is send hugs..hoping someone else knows more about this..
maybe ask on the main board..
hugs
sara

Geez, I have had the same problem, except I now have a lump under my left ear...I had an abcess and took antibiotics but couldn't afford further treatment, and was left with a lump...It makes me mad that dental care isn't affordable...even going thru my income based free clinic costs more than my medical care...and if I need free care I have to drive waaaaay too far

There are some 'free clinics' and dental schools do have cheaper rates, and teachers are there with the students . I just hate hearing when people have to go through life without going to the dentist, because dentists are so expensive, and even with insurance, there is a lot that insurance won't pay for. O if I could win the lottery, Id donate to dentistry for those who cant afford it, that is just wrong, and there should be some program that sees into this ...grrr. Sorry guys, I never buy lottery tickets so thats not gonna happen ,and I have NO wealthy family members or anything that would help my cause...I can pray someday this will change. I know a lady right now who desperately needs dentures, and another who needs front teeth replaced because of her appearance, she cant get a job...this is so sad and just not right...I wish I could help them but still paying for my own dental work from last yr, I finally had the nerve to do, and its not complete because I can't afford the rest...hugs and love, kat
