Oral cancer is the presence of cancer cells in the mouth or throat area. It is as severe as any other type of cancer, so oral cancer screenings with a dentist are strongly encouraged. Dr. Edward Camacho of San Antonio, Texas, is a dentist in the community who provides oral cancer screenings at his office on a routine basis.
When caught early, oral cancer has a high survival rate. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for oral cancer is up to 93% if found on the lips and 83% if found on the tongue. The earlier the cancer is spotted, the higher the chance of survival. It is vital to be aware of the noticeable signs and symptoms of oral cancer and see a dentist or doctor if you see anything out of the ordinary. Catching mouth cancer in the later stages will drastically reduce one’s ability to fight it effectively with treatment.
If you have any of these risk factors, you will need to be extra vigilant about monitoring your mouth for any changes and see a dentist or your primary doctor if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
