My dentist mentioned this

[Snarl]

Hi all.
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 ?

Bone structure goes missing 'usually' because of the way you chew. If you're missing a tooth, you'll 'usually' get bone loss under that gap.

A polyp is a knob-like growth. I'm surprised you didn't know it was there. If your dentist didn't want to deal with it, please go see the doc as recommended.
