Any time: Any time there's risk of cancer there's reason for concern. That said, sounds like your Oral Surgeon has thins well in hand. Follow his/her advice.

Stop worrying: this may be an old forgotten minor injury. Get a second pathologist to take a look if there is no clear diagnosis

Unlikely: Oral suspicious lesions do not typically spread as would a cancer or an infection. However, these lesions can transform over time and repeated examinations are essential.
