Frankly, I would advise being better safe than sorry and seeking a second opinion from an ENT who specializes or has significant experience in oral cancers. UofM has a very good Comprehensive Cancer Center. I think everyone here would agree it is FAR better to catch this stuff as EARLY as possible.
