Most likely it is not oral cancer but watch it for a couple days and call the dentist office and ask if they perform screening for oral cancer. If they do, then go get it checked there. If not, an ENT is the next and better option to detect oral cancers.
I suspect you googled around and found this place. Please try to limit any more searching as 99% of what you find is BS and just scary nonsense. This place is backed up with medical experts.
Stay calm but vigilant. Remember oral cancer is very low chance cancer.
