Some oral surgeons will be very experienced with oral cancer patients while others concentrate more on implants and wisdom teeth extractions. Try to research the oral surgeon you have the referral for and hopefully they will be able to help you. Do NOT give up!!!! Something isnt right, you need to find out whats going on. Hang in there and stay away from those cigs!!!!
