What Is The Black Mark On One Side Of The Tonsils?
I recently got an X-ray at the dentist's office because I need my tonsils removed. While looking at the X-ray my dentist noticed a black mark on one of my sinus cavities that isn't there on the other side. They sent it to the oral surgeon and I had more xray's done there. I just got a call an he asked to see me tomorrow. I'm really worried. Any ideas what this might be?

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Please do not worry .Mere x ray finding cannot be considered as a diagnosis.Can you please mention what are the other symptoms you have presently.Do you have any decayed teeth in the upper jaw?Any pain or swelling in the upper jaw?
If possible you can attach these x rays here for view.
Awaiting response.
Thanks.
Take care.
