There are a number of ailments that can affect the mouth, some of them ugly, some of them annoying, but nothing is more dreadful than cancer in the mouth. While it may seem like an issue that is to be dealt by an oncologist, the first steps of prevention begin with oral health.
The oral cavity which will be everything between you jaws, from lips to tongue, the palate and teeth falls under the ‘mouth’. Regular visits to the dentist can mean the difference between early detection and full blown cancer. Your dentist will look for any abnormalities, bumps, lumps, wounds, and a host of other things that can be signs of cancer. They will also know right away if any such occurrences in your mouth are causes for concern.
