Mouth cancer

Mouth cancer can occur anywhere on the surface of the tongue, lips, inside the cheeks, in the gums, in the roof and floor of the mouth, in the tonsils and salivary glands.  .













 Signs and symptoms of mouth cancer may include:





 1): a lip or mouth wound that does not heal





 2): a white or red colored patch inside your mouth



 Loose teeth





 3): a growth or lump inside your mouth



 Mouth pain





 4): earache



 Swallowing hard or painful





 Know how to separate a canker sore from something more serious.  A canker inside your mouth often burns, stings, or jerks before it appears.  In the early stages, mouth cancer rarely causes any pain.  Abnormal cell growth usually manifests as flat patches.





 A canker looks like a throat ulcer, usually with a depression in the center.  The center of the canker throat may appear white, gray, or yellow, and the edges are red.
