You have no idea how much it pleases me to share oral pathology photos

with you, even if this interest directly stems from figuring out what

the heck those enlarged taste buds of yours are. I am sending you a

bunch of pictures of salioliths and saliodentis. Even if you dont care to

look at them, just tell me that you did, mk? I feel so lonley in my

singular interest in weird ass conditions of the mouth, including enlarged

taste buds.

Conditions you may have:

Inflammatory Papillary Hyperplasia
