You are in the right place and hopefully you will not need any other advice from us. As a dentist and an oral cancer survivor, I have found myself in a unique position on this forum. I have learned so much here and continue to do so every day. I am currently trying to get one of my patients to stop using chewing tobacco and it has been an uphill battle.
I hope that this time is the last time that you have to quit. I am happy to read that you have an appointment and I hope that it turns out to be nothing.
Please let us know the results of your visit and biopsy, if done. And most of all, we would love to hear that you are having continuing success with avoiding tobacco.
