Shane called me this morning to tell me he called the dentist due to a sore he had in his mouth. I noticed the last couple of days he was using the water pick more...but figured he had something stuck in there or something. Anyway, the dentist wanted to see him right away when he called them and explained what was going on...no pain involved as of yet.
Shane used to be a really bad boy until about 2 years ago when he stopped chewing... he started very very young...like 12-13 years old and he did not stop until he was 36  He has had some surgery before (about 10 years ago) but it did not stop him at the time....
So, when he looked in the mirror this morning at his gum area....he about crapped and got really freaked out...enough to call the dentist AND to finally tell me about it...he was hoping it would go away on it's own. The dentist has sent him to a specialist this afternoon to see what steps will happen next... the dentist is about 90% sure he will lose at least 1 of 2 teeth but he thinks the jaw bone is ok. He is not 100% there will not be cancer either 
So, prayers are needed..... I will keep you all posted.

Oh Shell, I am so sorry to hear this!
I am so glad that he decided it was time to do something about it and get his butt to the dentist! I'm sure the specialist will be able to sort it out for him, and he'll be just fine.
I'm sure the dental procedures won't be much fun but as long as it gets all fixed up and he gets a clear bill of health in a little while it'll be like nothing happened.
I am sending lots of good, healthy thoughts your way!
**huge hugs**
