Any sore that you have in your mouth for 2 weeks or longer and it doesnt heal should be checked by a professional. I would suggest seeing an ENT who specializes with oral cancer. An ENT is the physician who most of us see for our check ups after battling OC. My ENT has done a few biopsies for me, but not all ENTs will do an biopsy.
Good luck!!! Hope you wont need to join our ranks an OC survivor.
