Update. I went to the ENT guy last week and he didn't seem concerned. He cut a chunk out of my cheek and I have to go back Thursday to review the results. I now have this hole in the side of my mouth, a hole about the size of a molar. Anyway, he said that 90% it's nothing serious. That made me feel so much better but now I find the closer I get to the appt the more nervous I become. That's it. Oh, and this is day 21 not smoking.
