General Symptoms of Oral Cancer
-
1Symptoms
- Mouth sores: If an ulcer in the tongue, oral mucosa, palate, or lips, etc. does not disappear for more than 3 weeks, it may not be a minor inflammation; thus, patients are advised to receive an oral health checkup.
- Presence of white or red lesions in the mouth
- Lump inside the mouth: A lump inside the mouth may be cancerous tissue growth. This can only be determined by a specialist, so if you feel a lump in the mouth, we advise that you receive an oral health checkup.
- Shaky tooth/teeth or prolonged open wound after tooth extraction: Teeth may become shaky due to a gum disease that weakens the dental bones in most cases. However, severe shaking may be caused by gum cancer.
- Lump in the throat: An oral cancer can metastasize and cause cancerous tissue growth in the lymph nodes.
2The Presence of Above Symptoms Does Not Mean You Have Oral Cancer
- However, the most important thing is to visit a dental hospital if you suspect that you have an oral cancer, and consult a specialist for an early diagnosis.
