Joey - the sooner you get to a qualified and experienced ENT who has treated many oral cancer patients, the less time you will have to worry and stress over it. It may be nothing serious, but if it turns out to be oral cancer, you will be catching it early which will insure a better survival outcome. My son waited six months before seeing a dentist to check it out and luckily, the dentist sent him to an Oral surgeon who did the biopsy right in his office and then sent him to an ENT with extensive experience treating Oral Cancer patients. The biopsy was no big deal and took very little time. By the time the biopsy came back, it was a Stage 2 squamous cell cancer. You will save time by bypassing the dentist and oral surgeon and get yourself to a qualified ENT. Your health is important.
