Sounds like you had a dentist who did a full oral cancer exam on you. Yea for that thorough dentist!!!!!
Oral cancer is a fast moving cancer where it would not still be the same for several years like what you described. If after all the opinions you have gotten, you still feel uncomfortable see an oral surgeon or an ENT who specializes in oral cancer. They can do a biopsy and then you would know for certain if you had reason to be concerned.
Im sorry for the loss of your cousin at such a young age. Are you still smoking? This scare you are going thru should be a wake up call to quit.
Best of luck with everything.
