Good advice from Joanna about trying to take it easy and not getting too deeply into this forum until you have a diagnosis.
However, if you can give some more details of what your dentist saw, where he saw it and what kind of x-ray he took, perhaps I can help sort things out for you.
If it would help to talk about this on the phone, send me an email and I will call you. I would even be willing to call your dentist if you don't have enough information to pass on.
