Hi, I have moderate osmf. A year ago dentists told me to remove my impacted wisdom tooth because it has pus but I ignored it and now my gum is swollen and whenever, I press it the pus comes out. But no pain. I'm worried because it was common for me to have swollen lymph node under that same tooth but now i'm having swollen lymph node under the chin. I'm really worried about cancer. Is this tooth abscess gonna turn into cancer or my osmf please tell me i'm really worried.
