The commonest symptoms of mouth cancer are
* A sore or ulcer in the mouth that does not heal
* Discomfort or pain in the mouth that does not go away
It can also cause
* White patches anywhere in your mouth (leukoplakia)
* Red patches anywhere in your mouth (erythroplakia)
* A lump on the lip, tongue or in the mouth or throat
* Unusual bleeding or numbness in the mouth
* Pain when chewing or swallowing
* A feeling that something is caught in the throat
* Unusual bleeding or numbness in the mouth
* Loose teeth or dentures feeling uncomfortable and not fitting properly
* A change in your voice or speech problems
* Weight loss
* A lump in the neck
White or red patches can be signs of pre-malignancy. Pre-malignant cells are abnormal, but they are not yet cancer. If left untreated, pre-malignancy can go on to develop into cancer. But if you get the condition treated, you can prevent a cancer from developing.
There is no official screening programme, but checking for mouth cancer should be part of your 6 monthly routine dental check up. Make sure it is done next time you go to the dentist – ask.

You can have cancer and not have symptoms. If you have red sores that look like tumors in your mouth I’d see a dentist first. Let him refer you to another kind of specialist that he will know you need. Good Luck
