Oral Cancer Screening, Early Prevention
The American Dental Association reports there is good news recently regarding oral cancer. It is now easier than ever to detect oral cancer early. The opportunity for a cure right now is great. Currently only half of all patients diagnosed with oral cancer survive more than five years; early diagnosis is the key to a higher survival rate.
Oral Cancer Detection
Oral cancer often starts as a tiny, unnoticed white or red spot or sore anywhere in the mouth. It can affect any area of the oral cavity including the lips, gum tissue, check lining, tongue and the hard or soft palate.
Other Signs Include:
- A sore that bleeds easily or does not heal
- A color change of the oral tissues
- A lump, thickening, rough spot, crust or small eroded area
- Pain, tenderness, or numbness in the mouth or on the lips
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing or moving the jaw or tongue
- A change in the way the teeth fit together
- Regular Dental Check-ups Important
