Are the white sores the same ones as you originally asked about? An ENT who specializes in oral cancer patients should be the best person to diagnose you. There are all kinds of things the sores could be besides cancer. If the sores have been there for longer than 2 - 3 weeks then its time to get checked out.
A biopsy may be necessary to identify what's going on.
Hopefully its nothing serious! Good luck!!!
