Many oral cancers are not found until the late stages as many patients exhibit no recognizable symptoms. Myself, I had what I thought was a canker sore for a few months. I did not have ear or facial pain.
It sounds like you have seen many doctors and had many tests done. Count your blessings that you do NOT have oral cancer! Not all dysplasia turns into cancer. My advice would be if you are not satisfied with the doctors you have seen to keep looking for someone who will do more tests.
Hope you continue to not need to be here. Best wishes!
