Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | I would suggest an oral surgeon or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon(like mine.) The dentist might or might not be trained to recognize and biopsy suspicious areas like this one. If you found a good one, then that would be great. If I had to choose one doctor to go to first, I would choose the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who has both a dental and a medical degree.
