Hi everyone. I'm a 24 year old new member.

A few weeks ago I became overly obsessed with a sore on the side of my tongue close to the front. I'm almost certain I've had it for a while.. months, if not years, but just recently became worried. The reason why I question even calling it a sore is because it doesn't bleed, it's not real red, and it doesn't hurt. I've been to my dentist for it and he seems to think its due to irritation from my tongue rubbing against a small gap I have in my teeth from a cross bite. If you were to look real closely at it it looks like a bunch of tiny taste buds clumped together.

My question is that if it was possibly tongue cancer should I have noticed anything else unusual? Could this be tongue cancer? And if not, are there any suggestions as to what it could be?
