There are many different things that could be going wrong in yoru mouth, most are harmless.
If it bothers you then get your appointment moved up. When in doubt, check it out is something I always go by. Its next to impossible to be able to give an opinion over the internet. Its also difficult to know where you are coming from without seeing a signature. Thats why signatures on here are so helpful. If you only post once every couple of years, we would have an understanding of what you went thru before. It makes it much easier to answer your questions and help without going back and reading all your old posts. To add a signature, go under the "My Stuff" tab and type in the box on the bottom. Another thing I was curious about, you used the word recurrance which is normally used when a cancer patient gets another tumor. Have you previously had oral cancer or just the benign cyst? Recurrance is a very very scary term around here. Im not trying to give you a hard time, just trying to find out where you are coming from so we can help.
I hope you do not have anything wrong. Best wishes.
