Kevin, Im very glad that you have had a biopsy. Thats the way to know for sure. I see you have learned quite alot about how to manage your health. Patients must speak up for themselves. What a nice thing for you to do for your dental professionals! You are correct that not every office is right on top of things like this. You are one lucky person! Hoping your biopsy comes back with good news.

Good luck!!!
