I can't stop worrying about oral cancer

[gg478]

I found two lumps on my bottom gum my HA made me think I had oral cancer so I got an appointment to get them checked out. My dentist has been a dentist for 20+ years he looked at my x rays and looked at the lumps and said that my xrays were good and "Everything looks fine the lumps could be extra bone but nothing to worry about." Now I been telling myself that whenever I unconsciously touch them or go over them with my tongue but unfortunately it doesn't really work that well because I keep thinking maybe he didn't get a good look at them or he misdiagnosis it. I don't get to see him again till march for my regular check up but when I do I'll ask him to check them again.

Your dentist said it was nothing to worry over but anxiety does that too us . Oral cancer is rare at your age.

I currently in a panic too and had the oral cancer worry before it’s so hard to stop it when you get it in your head .
