Yup....I suggest to go to an ENT, not just a dentist. If they say they want to do a brush biopsy, I would ask them to not, as they aren't always accurate. With the swollen nodes, you should really see an ENT who can biopsy and order scans like CT or PET which will help them see if anything else could be going on.
Hope it's not cancer!
