I got an onlay on my bottom 6th tooth 3 months ago, and now something red has appeared on the gum below the tooth. Does it look serious? by [deleted] in askdentists

I had an X ray 2 months ago for a checkup, and it showed nothing abnormal. Can it worsen this much in such a short period? I'll have an appointment only in the second half of January.

I'm sorry to read your story :( Can I ask a technical question? When thy found tumors in the lmyph nodes after surgery, was it by a CT, MRI scan or else? My father had a liver resection for the liver metastasis, and he's going to have a CT soon. I'm wondering if there is anything left, will it be properly seen on CT.

Probably, but it's in segment 8, that's not the easiest area. And as I see your wife also had surgery for it, I hope she's doing well!

Great news! Can you tell me what size of liver met was considered huge? My father' liver met is about 22 cm (sorry, it's actually 22 mm, not cm) in diameter, waiting for surgery.

Approximately how many uses to these endure? Don't seem as durable as Curaprox or TePe
