Oral cancer includes cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, floor of the mouth, sinuses, and hard and soft palate. We recommend that you receive an oral cancer screening at least once a year to ensure that cancer is diagnosed early. This screening can be performed during your regular dental exams.
Common symptoms of oral cancer include:
- A persistent sore throat or feeling that something is caught at the back of the throat
- Unexplained bleeding in the mouth
- Persistent or lasting sores on the face, neck or mouth
- Pain, numbness or unexplained loss of sensation in the face, neck or mouth
- Ear pain
- Pain or difficulty in chewing, speaking or swallowing
- Changes in your bite or the fit of dentures
- Red, white or speckled patches in the mouth
- Lumps, bumps or rough spots on the gums, lips or other oral tissues
