The risks of oral cancer are not as widely publicized as other cancers, making it difficult for the average person to recognize the signs. At Tejal A. Kakade, DMD, MAGD, PC, we are committed to providing our patients with a heightened awareness of the telltale symptoms of oral cancer. Detecting these signs when treatment is still effective could save your life. You may have mouth cancer if you are experiencing symptoms like:
