Michael Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Michael Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, first noticed a small, painless bump on his lower gum while flossing. Over six months, it grew steadily, becoming a firm, pea-sized nodule. A non-smoker and health-conscious, he was anxious but delayed seeking care due to a demanding project. His dentist, concerned by the lesion's persistence, referred him to an oral surgeon. A biopsy confirmed a benign peripheral ossifying fibroma. The doctor recommended complete surgical excision to prevent further growth and rule out malignancy. The procedure, done under local anesthesia, was quick but emotionally taxing for Michael, who feared cancer. Recovery involved a soft diet and mild discomfort for a week. Pathology confirmed the benign diagnosis. Emotionally, Michael moved from fear and denial to immense relief and a commitment to regular dental check-ups, feeling grateful for a second chance at health.
