my father went to his general dentist for his routine cleaning. his dentist said that he has the first stages of cancer in his mouth. he has white patches on his gums. my father chewed tobacco up until tuesday when his dentist told him this.
Now the dentist said that he will see him back in 3 months? My question is that should he see his primary care physician OR a specialist? shouldn't he be getting a biopsy to determine if this is cancer? it just seems ridiculous to wait 3 months?
