My stage 1 cancer started as a well defined red spot on my soft palet. I would skip forward if I where you and schedule a punch biopsy ASAP with an ENT. I went the dentist - oral surgeon -ENT rout myself and just ended up where you are going anyway. If this is over two weeks old (and I think it is) I would advise you to ask the ENT for a faster visit if you can get one.
