Q. im curious about my bottom teeth, most of my teeth are badly decayed and iv been left with just shells ( unbelievable fobia about the dentist ) my concern is a few of my teeth seem to be turning 180 degrees and 1 in particular has a growth under it which has split the gum & now feels like part of my jaw bone, im aware this is serious! but just how bad is it ? and could it be cancer ?

A. I doubt it is cancer but you must pluck up the courage and see a dentist to get your mouth checked out. It sounds like you may need sedation for any complex treatment so try and find a dentist who can offer this service.
