Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

More info needed: Besides being visualized, some other info would help your dentist make a diagnosis. How long has it been there? Social habits (drinking/smoking)? Condition of your teeth? Where is it located? As you can see, you'll need to make an appointment to be examined.
