Eric,

I'm not a doctor but I can tell you from my time on this site that oral cancer almost always strikes on only one side of the oral cavity. It is very very rare to see it stike bilateraly.

I think you have an infection of some sort. Please see a dentist, phobia or not. The worry you are putting yourselg through is not worth it.
