It sounds like you had a thorough exam being scoped with the ENT. Of course some members will say go for a biopsy. But if the doc cant see anything then he cant biopsy it. The general rule is that a sore that has been in your mouth for over 2 weeks should be checked out. It could be any number of different things besides oral cancer. I think a second opinion would help to ease your mind. Wishing you the best of luck and hope that you do not have anything wrong.
