OP "OCF Kiwi Down Under" Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 1,024 | Have just heard the results of Kris's biopsy. Basically just ulcerated tissue with no signs of carcinoma. So that's a relief. Kris has a dental appointment at the hospital next week where we will get them to file this tooth down. Goodness knows why it has taken over 2 years for this tooth to cause a problem. Especially as he sees the hospital Dentist on an almost monthly basis. Life is good. Tammy
