Research has shown that with early detection the long-term survival rates for oral cancer greatly improve. In 84% of cases, a dentist can detect signs of Oral Cancer during a comprehensive oral examination ( Clinical Practice Guidelines , 2008). Usually signs of Oral Cancer are present in oral lesions - a white or red patch in an oral cavity . The signs and symptoms of oral cancer and pre-malignant lesions are more common with individuals who have a history of excessive tobacco and alcohol consumption or chewing betel nut. The Canadian Dental Association states that the 3 most common sites for oral cancer are the sides and bottom of your tongue and areas under your tongue. The warning signs include: Bleeding that you can't explain Open sores that don't heal within 7 to 10 days White or red patches Numbness or tingling Small lumps and thickening on the sides or bottom of your tongue, the floor or roof of your mouth, the inside of your cheeks or on your gums.
