"surgeon". They do wisdom teeth, TMJ etc, not usually oral cancer. Dont let them go on a fishing expedition taking samples to biopsy when they are arent capable of treating you even if they would find something. Go directly to a qualified ENT and get taken care of by the right professional.
Good luck!
