Belle,
My first ENT took out part of my gum with only a topical.
He just jerked and I screamed and jumped out of the chair and just cried and cried. Oh my God!! Fortunately, days later, when he told me the bad news, he told me I must go to someone else because his hip would not let him stand up to do surgery.
My new ENT was so mad! He has since done 2 needle biopsys in my
mouth and I did not feel a thing with him. What a relief and also, they were negative, yeah!!
Switch to someone else, that it a bad omen. I am so sorry
for you. Like Jerry said, ask him if you can do that to him!!
Good luck to you,
Debbie
