I'm worried about a cyst??

Question

I have a cyst in my gum that just came from nowhere. I went to the dentist, he did an Xray and said he would have to refer me to the hospital to have the cyst removed.

I'm worried about the surgery and if cysts can cause cancer?

Answer 1

It is only dangerous if it's cancerous. Have it tested if you're really worried about it. Just be aware that going to the Doctor is a slippery slope. The "cure" is often worse than the ailment you started out with, in which case they always have another "cure" to remedy the multitude of problems they create. Of course Doctors don't say this and I doubt they even think it since most of them seem to be sufficiently infused with a sense of self worth.

Your best bet is to be your own Health Care specialist and learn about everything you can about your body. It's either that or put your health in the hands of someone who's livelihood relies on you being sick.
