Hi @new1, perhaps I can help. Mayo Clinic Connect is a place where you can connect with other people to talk about health issues, and give and get support. It sounds like you would like to know who you can see to confirm or rule out the possible diagnosis of oral cancer.

The best specialist to consult is an otolaryngologist, sometimes referred to as an ENT specialist or ear, nose and throat doctor. I might consider contacting Mayo Clinic again to confirm as cancer care at Mayo includes the latest diagnostic as well as treatment options. You may also consider Moffit Cancer Center or if travelling out of state is an option Mayo Clinic in Arizona or Minnesota or MD Anderson in Texas. All of these institutions have the top specialists.

Has your dentist or doctor suggested a referral to a specialist?
