Hi y'all... my dentist is worrying me and I don't understand why she won't tell me what's going on! I have all these dark shorts on my xrays and she is insisting I get an endo consult but won't tell me why! There's spots where there are no teeth!

(I just recieved my upper abs lower partial dentures the other day)

I'm including my xray that I took a picture of... if anyone can tell me what they think I need an endo for I'd really really appreciate it! I don't know why I have so many spots!

The big black spot on Upper Left is normal sinus. The smaller black spot is possibly a bony abscess on the farthest right tooth. The endo consult will determine if the tooth needs a root canal (most likely). Keep in mind that dental x-rays are only 2 dimensional and does not provide full diagnostic information. Other tests and examination are needed to fully assess.
