    Big lump under tongue
    I have a huge lump underneath my tongue. I saw it about a year ago. When I went to my dentist I had him look at it. He didn't know what it was so he referred us to some other kind of mouth doctor. My mom lost the guys name and number so we never got around to calling them. Sience then it has been getting much larger. It looks like it is white. When I press down with my tongue it goes away. It looks like a ball is below my tongue. Its soft when I push down on it. I used to be able to move it side to side but its larger now so I cant. Any idea on what it could be?

    Anything in your mouth that changes in size or colour should be checked out by an Oral Surgeon quickly. Call your dentist and have them make an appointment with the specialist as soon as you can.

    Flossie is right. Maybe your dentist did not make it clear to you. He was sending you to that other doctor not giving you a number in case you wanted to call. You need to have the growth loooked at immediately. I could possibly be a form of oral cancer.
