At my last dental check-up in October, my dentist noticed a white spot (very small - about 1mm) on my tongue that I had never noticed. He referred me to an oral surgeon to have it checked out and I went in November. The oral surgeon asked how long it had been there (I didn't know) and if it was bothering me (no). He said he didn't think it was anything to worry about and did not do a biopsy. The spot is still there, but hasn't changed at all and still doesn't bother me (hurt) or anything. I feel strange doubting the oral surgeon, but I wonder why my dentist would have sent me to an oral surgeon just for him to look at it. I'm also torn, as I really do not want to have the biopsy done (bad dental fears), which accounts for the time lapse between the appointment and my asking this question. I just don't know if I should a) see another oral surgeon, or b) let it go. I have to imagine that my dentist got some sort of report from the oral surgeon, so wouldn't he have called me if he wanted me to see someone else? I'm due for a dental check-up anyway, so maybe I'll just let the dentist tell me what to do. I don't want to go chasing something that isn't really there, but I don't want to be stupid about this either. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated at this point. Thank you.
