Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | I noticed a red spot in the same area, caught it early and am doing well 6 months after treatment (radiation only). I would see if the dentist could refer you directly to an ENT. They are best suited for a biopsy in this area.
I would also try and move the Dental appointment up. If you need the referal, it might be a bit before an ENT can see you.
Best of luck with the dentist, hope it's something easily treatable.
