Hey - worried about my dad

Hi, this is an odd one, but I'm a bit worried and wondered if any of you had experienced something similar. My dad went to the dentist yesterday for a check up, they xrayed his mouth and found a double tooth that needs to be removed at the dental hospital. But today his dentist had rang him saying he needs to see him urgently so hes going in tomoro.

I am thinking the worse, could it be that hes just found something else wrong with his teeth or could it be something sinister? I know you're not drs/dentist but need to ask someone.

Also, he is a functional alcoholic, don't know If that's relevant 

Thankyou x

  • Hello Katiel37 and welcome to our forum, 

    By now your dad will have had his appointment with the dentist. I just wanted to drop by and ask how it went? What has the dentist said if you don't mind me asking? 

    I hope you have a bit more clarity now. It might be worth mentioning to your dad's dentist - if he hasn't done so already - that he has alcohol related issues as it might be relevant and helpful for them to know this. 

    Keeping everything crossed that you received reassuring news yesterday. 

    Best wishes,
