Question:
Unusual Gum Growth: My daughter has an unusual growth of gum tissue between two of her front lower teeth.
Two different oral surgeons have removed this tissue a total of three times. The last time aggressively. Still the tissue keeps growing back.
Now they are talking about removing several teeth to stop the tissue growth. Have you ever seen something like this and can you suggest another way to cure the problem?. .... Visitor from CO
Answer:
It is beyond the scope of this column to try and diagnose a problem such as this.
If the oral surgeons did a surgical excision, I am sure they did a biopsy, got pathology results and have a handle on the best treatment course.
If they have not explained all possible causes and treatments, it is important to have them explain the findings and options to you. If you are not satisfied, get a second opinion.
