From what I have been led to believe an oral cancer screening consist of an dentist looking for abnormalities and feeling for anything that may feel like a growth or tumor. Both the dentist and periodontist sounded certain that that wasnt the problem.
Jerry you said you have been a dentist for 35 years. what could be causing this considering I dipped on the opposite side. And it seems to only hurt right at the gum line and teeth. If it was anything to worry about would I have some sort of visible clue with in the past 6 or 7 months?
