Upcoming Oral Surgery For Cyst In Jaw

Hey everyone!

I moved a few months ago and started school again and haven't been on in FOREVER. I'll probably be on all night catching up. :) Anyway, so long story short - I had a deep cavity in a front tooth on the lower left, last November I was in a lot of pain so I went to the dentist and lo and behold I needed three root canals and there was a lesion on the x-ray that looked like a cyst.

The doctor wanted to wait a year to see if it went away/got bigger/didn't change at all - and so here we are a year later and I've just found out that the cyst has gotten a little bit bigger and so they want to go in and take it out. The doctors have been really reassuring but I am FREAKING out about it. I'm horrified that I'm going to be awake when it happens, it grosses me out, I'm scared it's going to be painful because novacaine never really works on me - and I'm scared that they are going to find out that it is something really terrible.

I know I'm being nutty, but can anyone reassure me on this? Has anyone else had a cyst removed from their mouth? Is there anything that I need to be aware of as far as oral surgery and celiac?

Any info is HUGELY appreciated......

Thank you!

One thing you may want to consider is asking for a referral to an oral surgeon. They can either put you to sleep or into twilight land so that being awake will not be a concern. Another thing you can do is ask for something to calm you down before the appointment, just be aware that many times what they will give you is valium, if that pill doesn't have a cut out V it is not name brand and is not gluten safe (unless things have changed in the last year). You should ask the dentist to be sure to check all meds and topicals they use on you. I am novacaine resistant also so I do understand your concern but they will make very sure that you are numb before they begin. My dentist just starts out with a triple dose of the stuff now so I usually only need one or two jabs but before that they would sometimes have to inject up to 5 times. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Ditto for me on the "caines". They dont work well on me either. Just discuss your concerns with your dentist/surgeon. Trust me....they dont want you wide awake and squirming.

Thanks guys :) I wonder if the novacaine resistance has anything to do with Celiac??

I have an appointment on Friday, and I'll ask if I can go to the oral surgeon, or if they can promise me that they'll make me numb till next Tuesday.

There are just some people that certain anesthetics do not work well on. However, there are other oral numbing agents that work extremely well and you won't feel a thing. I have had oral surgery and a few root canals and the endodontist used something that she wouldn't tell me the name of. It was a VERY powerful anesthetic and I never felt a thing and it helped to kill any pain afterwards for quite a while. Tell them you have trouble with regular "caines" and request a more powerful medication. I know it is hard but try to relax....that's half the battle. Good luck to you....it really isn't as bad as your mind thinks it is!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
