Any sore that has been in your mouth for 2 weeks or longer should be checked by a professional. Not all dentists will be able to diagnose oral cancer. Only thru a biopsy will they be able to determine whats going on.
Congrats on quitting smoking! PLEASE do yourself a huge favor and let this be a wake up call and stay tobacco free. All the chemicals added to tobacco can do so much damage to sensitive mouth tissue. Best to avoid it all together.
Best wishes!!!
