I can see an oral physical exam hurting after a visit, and constant checking on your own behalf, having been there myself a number of times, often taking pain meds in preparation, but as it is often said, any unusual symptom lasting more than two weeks should be brought to the attention of your doctors, and often I waited less than that, and would for peace of mind. Can't really say anything other than that being your doctor is the only one that can.
Good luck.
