Hi,
I think I agree with Mark, in that it sounds good that the dentist and the doctor are talking to each other and paying close attention.

I guess as far as advice, I'd suggest mentioning to the dentist that you are confused, or concerned (not angry)why he didn't say anything to you at the time of the appointment 2 weeks ago.

Also, ask if it will go away on its own, and what to watch for, what can you do to help it get better, etc.

It may also be something that the dentist thought about after you were there, are just wanted to get the second expert opinion on.

I've just finished up surgery and radiation treatment and find that I'm too wondering what I need to watch out for as far as changes in my mouth. It does seem hard not to worry about evry little change or fear that something may be overlooked.
