[|Human|] Yes, i just went to the dentist and he checked my mouth, he said he noticed a tiny white like pus pocket on top of gums cheek side between two molars, you can barely see it, he said to wait two weeks if it hasnt cleared need biopst!! So im freaking out, even tho he said dont lose sleep over it!?! Ive smoked since 16, im 30, i smoke up to a pack a day, dont drink a lot! How do i know if its jusr something irritated my gums or its cancerous?
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for your question. Most likely you have a periodontal abscess that needs to be cleaned out through scaling and root planing.  Most common place for oral cancer is floor of the mouth.  Since this was a pus forming area in the gums it was most likely due to an overhang on a restoration, calculus, plaque or food debris, fractured root on tooth and not cancer.  However, I strongly encourage you to quit smoking because you are at high risk for getting cancer.  Worry about cancer and quit before you get it, not after.  You should rest easy knowing it is highly unlikely cancerous.  Best regards
