Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is a growth of abnormal cells that can appear on the lips, tongue, gums, palate, or other areas of the mouth. Early detection favors better follow-up.
Signs to watch for:
- Sores or ulcers that do not heal
- Persistent white or reddish patches
- Lumps, pain, or discomfort when swallowing that do not let up
Associated factors: Tobacco and alcohol use, as well as certain infections, are related to a higher risk; regular dental check-ups help monitor oral health.
Who to see? The dentist usually identifies the first signs during a visit, while the maxillofacial surgeon and the oral pathology specialist take part in the detailed evaluation. For any lesion in the mouth that does not go away, it is worth requesting a professional review without delay.
