Case Description
My mother is 56 years old. She has never seen dr in her life. She is scared of seeing a physisican. My birth was natrual at home in India. Since last 10 years mom has developed a lump like which I think !!!! is mandibuluar Torus. She developed this hard lump looking thing about 10 years ago when she got partial dentures and I think the partial denture rubed and created the lesion which is now big , hard, infected and smells. I have been able to convience her to see a Dr who can get her treated but have no idea where to start ... You must remember that it has taken 10 years to convience her. She can't eat .. she can't eat.. he only eats food that is soft and that also is difficult. She is in lot of pain and now embarrassed to see dr. Please help me.

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

i am not sure what is going on here. normally a torus is just there without any symtoms...no pain, no odors. you need to tell her to get into her dentist for an examination just to diagnose things. you can decide on treatment after that. there is no reason she should be suffering at all. there is nothing to be embarrassed about. treating patients is our job and we like nothing more than making people feel better. if she does not have a dentist, you can have her call us at 314-567-5612 and we would be more than happy to take good care of her. good luck,

jeff dalin, dds
