I went to the clinic to see one of the doctor's today (mine is on a sick leave) and you were right Gary, I really had to push to get an MRI. She initially said no because I was too young and had no risk factors of oral cancer. I informed her of all the research I've done and she could not dispute it and put in a request for an MRI. I have a metal retainer cemented behind my bottom teeth though so she said they may not do an MRI because I will break their machine. Do you know if this is true? She is sending in a referral for another ENT. She said because she can't see anything she doesn't think it's anything serious but I'm not satisfied with that answer.
