Seeing Doctor tomorrow - hoping he will say I need mucocele removing

If this doctor doesn't refer you...get a second opinion and the referral !!!
Rubbing it daily and breaking it down....nope.  My oral surgeon specifically said not to pick at them.

hi im assumin i have the same but who do i go 2 first the dentist or the doctors x thanx tracey

I would go to the dentist first.  Who better to evaluate an oral issue than a dentist...and then possibly a referral to an oral surgeon.
General MDs may or may not know about these little bastards...

mine doesnt look lk a blister tho and it moves around does it still sound the same x

not really...mucoceles are very distinctly blister looking.
Moving around is a good sign though....seroius stuff usually is pretty fixed.
That being said...start with a good dentist...

Hi - UPDATE!
I got referred to an oral surgeon and this morning and I've had my mucocele removed!  What a relief.  I reckon it was 1cm x 1.5cm before surgery.

The worst thing was the nurse holding my mouth open and pushing down with all her might.  As I'm writing this the anaesthetic is starting to wear off and it's now starting to hurt.  It's not unbearable though. 

I asked to see the little blighter after the surgeon had finished - it was just a little round red ball of flesh.
Good luck to all those who choose to have surgery!  If you can afford it or have the cover, go for it.

Interested in hearing how your follow-up and recovery go...good luck

Thanks Bigjohnny - I'll post a few updates as time progresses.

Just thought I'd mention one of the warnings the surgeon gave me, as I've not heard of this one before....

**** NOTE: The surgeon said this was extremely rare, so I don't want this scaring anyone ****
I was warned that when removing the mucocele there have been very, very rare occasions where, if the nerve gets damaged you can get temporary and very, very, very rarely permanent numbness in the chin area below where the mucocele was.

As this is a forum for sharing info, I've mentioned it here just so people can be aware.

I have some ever so slight numbness in my lower lip from one taken off several years ago, and it has improved with time...don't even notice it now, and was not at all disfiguring...

Well, just over 1 week since the op and it's healed very well.  I ended up cutting off some loose ends of the stitches that appeared as they gradually dissolved; but that was no problem.  I did find eating my main meals became a little painful after the first few mouthfuls - but it did force me to cut my food into smaller portions, which is a good habit I should try to keep.

So, at the moment the skin is slightly raised and hard where the stitches were and I too had some very, very slight numbness - that's improving daily.  Overall, it's brilliant that the stupid great lump in my mouth has gone!

how was your removed? My 8 year old son has had one removed 3 times in the last 10 months and they keep reappearing within weeks. @ lasered out and 2 weeks ago one was cut open and cleaned out (not sure of medical name for it) and it has already begun a fourth time. We are SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED and feel so HELPLESS.

Mine was cut out (as per the rather graphic equivalent you can find on YouTube )  I've now got a small hard lump where it was - annoying, but no where near as bad as the mucocele.

If mine is not a mucocele can it still be removed somehow to make my lip more normal?
