Signs of oral cancer are any white, red or dark areas of the mouth and neck that are unusual in shape, raised, swollen and/or ulcerated and do not go away within 10-14 days. There are also rare cancers that are within the bones of the jaws that can only be seen using dental x-rays. Cancerous areas are usually without pain or symptoms and at late stages become visible. Early stage cancer is rarely visible and can only be detected using dyes, scopes and dental x-rays that your dentist can use and usually done at dental hygiene visits.
Together we fight oral cancer. Together we save a life every hour.
