My teeth were great up until about 4 years ago, then they started going all to hell, and crumbling while I watch. Probably gonna be what kills me in the end.

The only "nodules" I've had so far are salivary stones - kinda like kidney stones, but in the salivary ducts. if they block one good enough, it causes one or the other of the salivary glands to swell and hurt, kinda like mumps. I treat them with rum - lots and lots of rum. The rum sterilizes everything, and eventually relaxes stuff enough that the stones just kinda pop out of the duct and unblock it... but that ain't medical advice I'd recommend. Works for me, but I wouldn't expect it to work for everyone.

It gets a little harrowing right towards the end of the treatment.

I've also had an abscess for about 3 months which seems to be going away now... and that is a wee bit scary. Where the hell is it going TO?

I hope you're all enjoying the start of the weekend 

I have been wondering about something my dentist mentioned. I was not paying too close attention (adhd perhaps),
but I think he mentioned something about me having a 'nodule' or polyp inside my mouth somewhere?
I think he also asked if my tonsils were ever removed. 

He said "if I was you I'd get it looked at by an ETN (ear, throat,and nose) specialist' 

So , what does this mean? 

A nothing burger I'm sure, and I'm not worried, just curious

Had polyps inside my nose back in the days by the way.

It was a mess, really. Bone structure was missing from the top of my left eye and left it vulnerable to infections. Had to take a lot of cortisone pills. That made me very sleepy.

So they drilled my skull and i spent 1 week in a hospital. I have 27 stitches, from ear to ear, across the top of my head. That is why i have longer hair than what most men have.

I hope the polyps didn't cause bone loss ? Why the missing bone structure? I'm assuming because of surgery ?
