  3. Risk Factors of Oral Cancer • Smoking: It is one of the leading causes and people who smoke cigarette, cigar, or pipe smokers are highly prone to develop oral cancers • Tobacco Consumption: Tobacco consumption in any form is highly dangerous and makes an individual prone to oral cancer • Excessive consumption of alcohol • Family history

Symptoms of Oral Cancer • Constant feeling of soreness or something caught in the back of the throat • Difficulty in chewing or swallowing, speaking, or moving the jaw or tongue • Hoarseness that leads to change in voice • Pain in the ear • A change in the way your teeth or dentures fit together • Unexplained weight loss • Presence of white, red, or speckled sores in the mouth • Unexplained bleeding and numbness • Persistent sores on the face, neck, or mouth that do not heal   Also read about Head and Neck Cancer Causes and Symptoms

  5. Diagnosis of Oral Cancer • When your dentist conducts routine dental exam, he might also carry out an oral cancer screening exam. • The dentist here would check for lumps in your neck, head, face, and oral cavity, sores or discoloured tissue or as well as check for any signs and symptoms mentioned previously. • Once any of these symptoms look like cancerous tumours, he might further validate it by conducting an oral brush biopsy. • This test is painless and involves taking a small sample of the tissue and analysing it for abnormal cells.   • Based on the initial symptoms, the dentist may also recommend scalpel biopsy. • Scalpel biopsy is more complicated than brush biopsy and is usually carried out under local anaesthesia.
