hi brian
I personaly think your doing the right thing keeping aware of your oral health. I had my "sore" when i went to my gp and was told to see a dentist in oct. well the next day i had to go to florida and off we went. the sore got bigger and more sore so i finaly got it checked out in april. now looking back i wished i had gone to the dentist. so i say be pro active not only in your oral health but your overall health. listen to your doctors thats what your paying them for. pat
