My roommate is going to have his removed surgically on his next appointment. I have my first consultation right after his with the same doctor. If the steroid injection failed with his can I request to have the surgery right thenand there at my first appointment or do I have to wait for a second one? I really want this thing removed and don't want to have to make extra visits

What's Hot in Lump in Mouth?
David: No health insurance - what is approx. cost of mucocele removal/treatment? — A sincere "thank you" to all who have responded. At least now I have a rough idea of what the cost might be. David
Laney9809: burst mucocele — No, same as bigjohnny, my mucocele would flatten and then get bigger. You didn't do any harm. but it shouldn't have hurt. so maybe you did do a little harm, but it's nothing to worry about. You might want to get it removed
Laney9809: Turned Out To Be An Abcessed Tooth — oh well you'd rather have an abcessed tooth, in my opinion, than a mucocele. Hope the root canal went well. :)
Laney9809: I'm not a member, but I'm posting anyway. — you know, u should really get an account here if you're gonna be rude like that. Google it then comment back when you grow up
Laney9809: Does it get bigger if you drain it? — okay... U AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DRAIN IT. unless ur ENT or oral surgeon did, you could make it bigger than it is now. draining it before u get it removed can cause it to come back, maybe. That's what I'm thinking
Laney9809: MY 4 YEAR OLD MIGHT HAVE ONE — oh i'm a child and had one. i'm the only one i know, so probably about one in 50 children have one. I got it removed. i wouldn't recommend getting it removed to a 4-year-old. because i'm 11 and it hurts. your daughter would have trouble eating, talking, and could take the stitches out accidentally. one to 4 stitches are the most stitches you could get. hope this helps
