Meridith,

As usual, Mike has provided you with a great deal of useful information and suggestions.

I would like to add that if it is possible for a dentist to compare previous x-rays of your husband's jaw to the new ones, that would be very helpful. These spots could be normal for him and if they have been there for a long time and have not changed, comparing the x-rays could help to show this.
