Pregnancy Granuloma

mrsclark731 · January 2015

I just got back from the periodontist, and I have a pregnancy granuloma in my mouth

It is driving me NUTS and it makes me speak with a lisp. I have to try really hard to talk normally. They tried to schedule me for removal in three weeks! I was like...no, I will almost be giving birth by then. So I'll have to travel to an office further away (like I care at this point) and they are calling me tomorrow to schedule.

He said it will only take about 20 minutes to remove and acted like it was NBD. I'm scared shitless. Anyone ever go through this or know anyone that had one of these things removed at 35+ weeks? I'm trying to stay off google...any reassurance would be appreciated!

Yikes! Sounds miserable. Will be sending prayers up!

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this!! I'm sending you prayers and positive thoughts! I researched it and according to Dr. Google, it's an easy removal process and recovery isn't long. I don't have experience so I'm not sure, I just hope they are correct for you.

Fx for a safe removal!

Thanks ladies :-)

He seems to think it was caused by an injury because of the location (think burning the roof of your mouth on hot pizza). So hopefully, it won't grow back.

Let this be a lesson...wait for that pizza to cool!

I'm so happy!!

Instead of the appointment (I had to fight for) on the 19th, my husband used his God given phone talent and got me in *today*! I'm so relieved!

Thank you for your crossed fingers and T&P's ... Think of me at 2:30 today :-D

I have one of those. Fortunately it is on the outside of my gums, kind of out of the way. We are waiting to see if it goes away on its own after delivery.

Thinking of you, good luck!

I have one too. My dentist gave me Perigard to mouthwash with plus I do salt rinses. It's not bothering me as much since I started that regimen but I will be scheduling another appointment now that I've given birth. It needs to go!

I hope it goes well! I'm Not sure what this is but now I'm too scared to google it. :-S

It's out!!

Thank goodness.

I have 3 sutures and the local is starting to wear off. It doesn't feel too great, but so much better than the huge tumor behind my front teeth.
They let me look at it after it was out. It looked like a big pebble.

@PeaceofKia‌ they gave me the mouthwash but it just kept growing and I really pushed for it to be out. The doctor did it on his lunch break for me, it took 25 minutes. FX yours goes smoothly! Get it scheduled!

@smcniff‌ I hope yours goes away! If not--don't be afraid to schedule it. It's worth it.

Y'all need to stop googling stuff. It's like watching a monster truck derby to see what driving on the freeway with trucks is like.

The removal of those granulomas is nbd. True story. See how OP lived? Normal.

Every time I scroll past the title of this thread, my stupid eyes read it as pregnancy grandma.

Sorry, not trying to take away from OP's pain and suffering or make light of her at all. I am glad everything is resolved.

Yes. Every time I pass this thread I read "pregnancy granola" and immediately crave a granola bar.
