What You Should Know About Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is often referred to as a “silent disease” because it can develop without noticeable symptoms. It may affect the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, or the roof and floor of the mouth. If left undetected, it can progress quickly and become life-threatening. Risk factors include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV). No matter the cause, regular screenings are essential—early detection can save lives and prevent serious complications or disfigurement.
Key Signs and Symptoms of Oral Cancer
Although screenings can detect oral cancer early, it’s important to recognize potential warning signs:
- Persistent sores or ulcers in the mouth that don’t heal
- Red or white patches on the gums, tongue, or inner cheeks
- Lumps, thickened areas, or rough spots in oral tissue
- Numbness, tingling, or discomfort in the lips or mouth
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
- Changes in the way your teeth fit together or in your bite
If you notice any of these symptoms—or if it has been more than a year since your last screening—it’s time to schedule an appointment.
