aprils...i would start either with a dentist, or ent if you can. But i started with a dentist and she referred me to a oral surgeon that tried different things. And it isn't the stage that really determines if they have to remove a piece of your tongue, it's a bunch of different things. So maybe start with ur dentist and go from there.
