We have a few dentists on this site and they may be able to give you better advice, but I would advise you to see an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) Doctor. That doctor can do a biopsy of the area (if they think that is what you need) and that should tell you what is wrong. The expensive scans may be unnecessary at this time.
