    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
