Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

As you know the referral causes benefit to the patients,in a way that you get to know the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

Therefore please do not worry at all.your present dentist would have asked you to see a dental surgeon,so that the lesion in relation to third molar could be identified and well diagnosed.

How do you know it is cancer?The features of cancer are different.It could be a cyst or tumor(that is a mass of tissue).So please do as suggested and leave your worries to your concerned doctor after explaining your troubles.

Wish you good health.
Thanks.
Take care.
