Oral cancer will typically show up as white or red patches or lesions inside of your mouth. You may even notice the lesions on your tongue or on the floor of your mouth. Many people experience a hard time swallowing, bleeding in the mouth, or even swelling in your face or neck.

FAQs

We recommend an annual oral cancer screening during your regular dental check-up to detect any potential issues early.

During the screening, your dentist will examine your mouth and throat for signs of abnormal tissue or suspicious lesions.
