SPOTTING MOUTH CANCER IN THE EARLY STAGES

 * By Mark Tangri
 * November 27, 2019



Whilst your dental practitioner will check your mouth thoroughly at each
appointment, spotting mouth cancer in the early stages is very important and you
can help by checking there are no changes or abnormalities to your mouth when
you brush your teeth each day.

Oral cancer affects all areas of the mouth including:

 * Lips
 * Lip and cheek tissue lining
 * Teeth
 * Tongue
 * Gums
 * Mouth floor (under the tongue)
 * Roof and palate

Your mouth, tongue and lips are covered with flat sells called squamous cells,
and if you see any changes in these cells then visit your dentist to check all
is well.  This tissue is where most oral cancers originate, so you need to keep
an eye on it.

Be aware that many anomalies occur all the time, and the time to seek help is if
the issue persists after three weeks. Non-cancerous anomalies will heal and
disappear within this time frame, potentially cancerous anomalies will remain
without any apparent healing. Catching the sensitive skin of your mouth lining,
gums tongue and lips on teeth or sharp foods will cause small injuries, but
these heal quickly as your body repairs damage. With regular checking, it is
possible to see these abnormalities before you feel them, as in the early stages
mouth cancer is unlikely to cause pain.

We are all advised to regularly check our bodies for anomalies that may be a
cause for concern, and your mouth should be added into this routine. Good oral
health aside, the skin here should not be missed from your regular monitoring.

Here are a few things to look out for in your routine:

A patch appearing upon the skin of your tongue, lips, mouth, gums or tonsils is
a cause for concern and should be monitored. White or red patches could
potentially signify squamous cell carcinoma.

The skin texture changing to something that feels thicker or lumpy. Or ulcers
and erosions that do not heal are all areas of concern.

The best way to check your mouth is to be in a well-lit room and use a
magnifying mirror with a bright focussing light. Using clean hands, gently pull
your tongue outwards an inspect underneath. Check the sides of your tongue, and
then the insides of your cheek lining and around your gums. Curl your lips and
check the insides and out.

Although it is always best to get any anomalies checked out quickly, it is not
necessary to panic. Many anomalies can turn out to be benign but your dental
practitioners’ professional opinion will decide whether there is anything to
worry about.

Your routine dental check will highlight anything that your dentist feels might
be concerning but it is up to you to keep an eye on your mouth in between
checks. Cancer caught in the early stages can ensure the difference in the rate
of survival, and if you spot a persistent issue that has not healed within three
weeks then book an appointment to give you peace of mind.

For more information on spotting mouth cancer in the early stages, or to book an
appointment for a free mouth cancer check please contact us here.

Mouth Cancer Action Month is held in November every year and is supported by the
Mouth Cancer Foundation and the British Dental Health Foundation.
