What Is Oral Cancer?
Oral cancer refers to cancer that develops in the tissues of the mouth or throat.
It may occur in areas such as:
Lips
Tongue
Cheeks
Roof or floor of the mouth
Gums
Throat
When detected early, oral cancer can often be treated more successfully.
Regular dental visits allow dentists to identify unusual changes before symptoms become more serious.
Why Oral Cancer Physical Examination Is Important
Oral cancer may develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages.
Routine screening helps detect abnormalities early and may identify:
Suspicious sores or lesions
Unusual tissue changes
Persistent red or white patches
Swelling or lumps in the mouth
Early diagnosis increases the likelihood of effective treatment.
