Dentists in the UK look for abnormalities in the mouth as a part of a check up, I would imagine it’s the same in America. I would have thought anything unusual they would have mentioned it or referred you back to your doctor if they were in doubt. What you have to remember is that dentists don’t just do teeth they are responsible for everything that goes on in your mouth, effectively they are specialists – someone your doc would refer you to even, and not always the other way round.
To put your mind at rest go back to your docs, while you are anxious about this problem your head will tell you all sorts of things and you will taste all sorts, once you have the all clear chances are all these symptoms will go.
