Absolutely - they caught a cyst while extracting my wisdom teeth and told me they'd be sending it to be checked out and not to worry - I guess they do that and say their piece to keep their behinds covered & not because they think it's problematic - I think they all have a secret little common sheet somewhere with all the right words to say to get their patients all worked up for nothing

As to the stress levels and things going bump in the mouth, I can attest to that as my mom has this on and off and her doctor tells her to mind her stress levels - well, if the idea of managing stress levels is by being upset or mad at the rest of us all the time then well, she's the poster child then 😅

As to your last mention of the current state of affairs hereabouts - well, all I can say is seems like the bottom has fallen out 🤷‍♀️
