Mucocele? Question for dentists?!
Question: Mucocele!? Question for dentists!?
This is really gross but I just went to the dentist for this swollen blister inside my lip and he said that I have a "mucocele" and that it may disappear on its own!. The trouble is, he says that if it's still there after a couple months, that it's necessary to go to an oral surgeon and they may have to lance it (gross, I know)!.
The physical pain doesn't bother me!. I'm worried about the cost!.
Is it expensive!? Will most oral surgeons allow you to make payments!? I don't think that I have appropriate health insurance to cover it!. How long can I wait before it's dangerous!?
If you can help me thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
A mucocele is nothing to obsess over!. It's just a tiny mucous gland that's become stopped up!. Most all of the time these will eventually either unstop or will rupture!. If the blockage comes out then it's pretty much permanent!. If it just ruptures, then, when it heals, it will probably fill with fluid again and pop up!. In any case, these almost always disappear with no intervention!. So don't worry, it's not "dangerous" and even if, by some rare reason, it does have to be excised it's not expensive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
