Go to the oral surgeon. I have found that sometimes dentists aren't as DIRECT as they should be because they don't want to scare you. He is doing his job by referring you, but in my opinion he is not emphasising strongly enough that it is a GO THERE situation - not a "maybe you should go"...type of thing.

I am definitely NOT saying that what you have is serious. I am however saying that you absolutely must get it checked. That way, you know for sure - no more guessing, and trust me - you'll sleep better when all the "maybe's" are out of the equation!!

Keep us posted.
