I would not jump: to that conclusion. However, we can not diagnose you on this particular Health Tap site. See the dentist and try to calm yourself until then. Take care.

Lesion: You did the right thing about seeking a dental evaluation. At your age the risk of oral cancer is very low. The fact that it's small and on your cheek also makes it less likely to be a cancerous lesion. Be aware that smoking of any kind and alcohol consumption increases your risks, especially if you do both. Get six month soft tissue examinations at your dentist. Don't worry.
