AG - Please get yourself to somebody qualified like an oral surgeon as soon as possible. This is your health and you need to do whatever you have to (yell, scream, cry!) to convince somebody you have to have another opinion! My son thought he had bitten his tongue and kept putting off seeing the dentist because he had no dental insurance until the pain got so bad it was excruciating. He found out later it was Stage 2 SCC. Don't put this off. If it turns out to be nothing then at least you will know for sure. Let us know what happens.
