    Pulsating “bump” below skin on Facial Artery on cheek about an inch from my mouth

    So I have noticed a bump below the skin for about a year now. It is soft to the touch and not discolored. I can only see it in certain lighting but recently within the past month I have noticed it is pulsing with my heartbeat. I have felt my facial artery and followed it from the mandible and it feels larger on my left than on my right. I have gone to the dermatologist and they said they had never seen anything like that before. I then went to an oral surgeon who suggested I go and get an angiogram....

    morning breath making me sick

    so I have a very touchy gag reflex, but immediately upon opening my eyes after sleeping I have to brush my teeth or I gag. I have to most mornings choose whether to go to the bathroom or brush first because its apparently a huge decision. This has been a huge issue for me for probably the last 15-20 years. I don't remember it being like this when I was younger, but since I've been in my early to mid 20's its been really rough. If I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom....

    When are dental crowns necessary?

    I'm 62 and have fairly good teeth. I've gone to the dentist my entire life. Recently, a new dentist wants to remove my large old fillings and place crowns on. He claims that the edges of the fillings are receding and the filling is not sealed tightly. I can understand having the crowns if the filling is broken or the tooth is cracked. I'm all for saving my teeth. However, if I'm not having pain, and the filling is secure is this expense really necessary?

    Cut my gums exposing tooth root

    I recently cut my gums and just noticed that it has exposed the root of my tooth. I’m not experiencing any pain or discomfort but am wondering if my gums will heal over the exposed spot on their own or if this is something I will need to get taken care of. The spot is relativity small about 2mm in diameter near the base of of my tooth so if I can avoid a procedure I would prefer to let it heal on its own. Thanks!
