Male 38
Smoked for 10 years into my 20s. Quit in my late 20s. Using a vaporizer now and no longer smoke.

I’ve had a white lump on my gums for almost 5 months now and my Dentist seems to think it’s no big deal. I was concerned, so I booked some time with an oral surgeon that my dentist referred me to.

The oral surgeon took an sample that came back as HPV, but says the lump isn’t something I should worry about. He schedule time to cut it out but doesn’t even think it needs a biopsy. Is this normal? I’m convinced it’s cancer.

Bless you all.
