Catch oral cancer while it’s still treatable – Watch for these signs


Each year 35,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer. Because oral cancer is often not discovered until it is more advanced, there is less than a 50% survival rate at year five after diagnosis, making early detection extremely important.
If you have any of the signs below, you may have oral cancer and should promptly see your medical doctor.

1. Red and/or white spots in your mouth or on your lips
2. Sores in your mouth or on your lips that do not heal
3. Unusual changes to the surface of your mouth or lip tissue
4. Bleeding in the mouth
5. Loose teeth
6. Difficulty swallowing
7. Ear pain
8. Numbness of the tongue or other mouth parts
9. Jaw swelling
