Lower gums getting worse

[Angie12345]

I’ve seen 4 dentists and they say it’s normal. It started with one circular spot and started spreading over the years. Now it’s uncomfortable, tingling, and causing weird bone pain down to my chin...please help. I’m scared it is cancer.

From the image, the area looks normal. The only way to diagnose oral cancer is by biopsy (cutting the suspicious lesion and looking at it through a microscope). The dentist will determine if it is really worth cutting you up for that. For example, if you chew tobacco (known carcinogen) and place that tobacco in a part of your mouth with gross looking callouses and red sores, the dentist or doctor will need to biopsy it to confirm it is cancer or precancerous tissue. Otherwise numbers are in your favor.

Looks all very normal and healthy. I don't even know which part concerns you.
