Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. Honestly, I knew heading in today I wasnt going to have a definitive diagnosis but thought it couldn't hurt to have the dentist take a look while I wait for the ENT appointment.
I should be feeling better about things given his confidence that it didn't appear sinister but I don't. Probably because I know there will be a biopsy then more waiting.
Anyway I appreciate all the comments. I know many of the people reading this are dealing with much more serious problems and its not my intent to overshadow that with my own worry.
