The signs of oral cancer can vary from person to person and often depend on how far the disease has progressed. However, symptoms to look out for include:
- White and red patches in the mouth and on the tongue and lips
- Sores that take a great deal longer than normal to clear
- Pain in the mouth or neck
If you have any of these symptoms and think you may be at risk, make an appointment to visit your dentist right away.
