Abstract: We show that if $X$ is a separable locally compact Hausdorff connected space with fewer than $mathfrakc$ non-cut points, then $X$ embeds into a dendrite $Dsubseteqmathbb{R}^2$, and the set of non-cut points of $X$ is a nowhere dense $G_{d}elta$-set. We then prove a Tychonoff cut-point space $X$ is weakly orderable if and only if $$ is an irreducible continuum. Finally, we show every separable metrizable cut-point space densely embeds into a reducible continuum with no cut points. By contrast, there is a Tychonoff cut-point space each of whose compactifications has the same cut point. The example raises some questions about persistent cut points in Tychonoff spaces.
