I just had a tongue biopsy - no one told me how incredibly painful it would be for weeks afterwards. But, like you, I have an amazing dentist. So grateful you got the help you needed and are healed !!!

I just had a tongue biopsy about 2 weeks ago as well, and I agree with you that it is extremely sore when they put the needle into your tongue to freeze it.. It was horrible and so sore as they did it 3 times the worst experience I have had with pain, then they cut a chunk out in the middle of my tongue, then stiched it up. It was sore for about a day or 2, then OK, but I had nystatin and a spray to use 4x daily. My stitches never dissolved but came out after 2 weeks when I are sonething
I am still waiting on my results that they said could take up to 8-12 weeks. I'm nervous and scared, but what will be will be 😢 I'm Staying positive 🙏

Another question: is a tongue transplant possible?

[@MichaelJames-sz5vz]

Nice video ❤
I just want to appreciate Dr Emovon on RUclips. I love how you talk professionally and thoroughly about this. You answered all the questions in my head without it being weird. I completely respect what you do and love watching these videos when they come up. Just thorough and truthful. Just one of the rare RUclips channels I absolutely trust for information for curing me from bad breath 😷 #dremovon…❤❤

Those with oral cancer: were any of you smokers only in your 20s/teens?

[@kathyf1964]

Yes, but that’s not what caused my cancer. I quit when I was 21 (started at 16), and my cancer was diagnosed when I was 27. In My case (and in some other woman with the same circumstances), I believe my pregnancy triggered my cancer. The change in my hormones. My cancer came out while I was pregnant with my son. Why it came back in 2020, that’s a good question. Again could be hormone related (menopause). But it’s just all too coincidental for me.
