Hi Minty,
Thanks for posting the panorex. Two things that make this "copy" difficult to read properly is 1) The xray is over exposed meaning the radiolucent areas are overly pronounced which distorts or even exaggerates some of the critical details of the image. 2) This copy is not marked which is your Left and which is the Right side. Because it appears (on this copy) that you may have some dental issues on both sides, I cannot specifically comment on which is your left side.
When looking straight at the xray as you have posted it in your notes, which is YOUR LEFT side? Also, did she take any other xrays of your mouth in addition to this panorex?

According to her, the lower left teeth are fine but there is a growth under the gums in lower left corner which could be pushing against the nerves and causing the soreness. I have attached the panoramic X-ray. Do you also see a growth? I am extremely worried since it is above the growth which can be felt in my jaw. Would appreciate if you could take a look at the X-ray and let me know if you see a growth in lower left corner of mouth.
Thank you
Minty
