Red spot on gum not going dentist referral to hospital

Anyone have any idea what this could be so worried about it! Anxiety  

  • Hello Cazzer 101 and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are having investigations about a spot on your gum.

    As we are not involved in your care we can't say what it could be but it is important that if it is a 'spot', that doesn't seem to be clearing up, it is investigated. The doctors at the hospital may want to do a biopsy to find out what it is.

    Try not to overthink it for now. There may be other causes other then cancer but it is important to rule it out.

    I do hope all will be well. Do give the nurses a ring on the helpline if you want to talk things through.

    The number to ring is freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    all the best,

    Catherine
