I’m afraid you’re right in saying that we can’r provide medical advice seeing that we are a group of patients/caregivers who only have our own personal experience to draw on. I do believe you have a caring dentist who is now referring you to an oral surgeon for a biopsy. That will give you a definitive answer as to what is going on in your mouth. I don’t think you would prefer to be always second-guessing — the doctors, the equipment, etc. because there is no end to that and you’ll always be anxious.

I understand how it may worry you until the appointment with the oral surgeon happens. But if you would spend the time doing stuff that you enjoy and takes your mind off the “worst case scenario,” time will pass quicker and more pleasantly. Like many on this forum have said, “Don’t borrow sorrow from tomorrow.”
