nyuszisue,
Do you remember me asking you after you posted the panorex xray if you had other dental work planned? If I recall correctly you said no, not at this time.
Well the reason I asked you that question was because your panorex shows that you have some other dental problems. Although the film is lighter than ideal it is still fairly diagnostic. Do you want me to tell you what I see on this film or would you rather not know right now?
The finding on your scan is not really accidental. It is an indication that there is a problem with tooth #5. To be honest dentists hesitate to offer too much information about "accidental findings" with a patient who indicates they are only interested in one particular area or one tooth. Do you think that could be part of the issue you are having with dentists in general?

Even if he was a second opinion dr. for the tooth extraction site problem ( he didn't do the extraction ) this black circle is above a totally different tooth, not above the tooth that was extracted, so there is no connection to the previous dr's work. And it's actually an " accidental " finding. And he said he wouldn't go in to remove that white spot and he wouldn't remove the black circle, there is no reason for any of it, no infection, no reaction around them.
Can a cyst be visible on x-ray or just the ct scan ?
Thank you again ! I really respect and appreciate all of your answer, and I even recommended this site to my coworker , telling her who knowledgeable and nice are you, to take time and answer to all of us here on this site. And I know you are telling all the facts the way they are, while some of the dentists are not honest at all.
