If you have been biting it then it sounds more like an ulcer. dentists usually automatically check for other things when they do the check up so he would have noticed.

But it just looks normal could the cancer be inside so they wouldn't notice without me mentioning it and doing a biopsy ?

You would have other symptoms too and probably patches on your tongue. I really think seeing as you have been chewing your tongue that it will be a ulcer but if you check with your doctor just to reassure you.

Bad things happen to us HA when we search things. :(

With the absence of other symptoms, I HIGHLY doubt it is anything serious.

You may want to have a trip to the dentist just to reassure you. I am confident you will get reassuring results.

Stay away from Google, it will only cause you harm. :wacko:
