text: Warning signs of oral cancer
  Each and every cancer that appears in any of the mouth's
  component parts is referred to as mouth cancer (oral cavity). Mouth cancer can
  develop on the following:
  - The cheeks' internal surface
  - Roofing of the mouth
  - Your mouth's floor (under the tongue)
  Oral cancer, also known as oral cavity cancer, refers to
  cancer that develops on the inside of the mouth.
  One of many cancers included in the category known as head
  and neck cancers is mouth cancer. Other head and neck tumors are frequently
  treated similarly to mouth cancer.
  A mouth cancer's warning signs and symptoms may also
  - An untreated lip or mouth sore
  - A spot on the inside of your mouth that is white or red
  - Crooked teeth
  - An internal growth or bump in your mouth
  - A sore mouth
  - Ear pain
  - Swallowing issues or pain
  consult a doctor
  If you experience any bothersome, lingering indications or
  symptoms that continue longer than two weeks, schedule a visit with your doctor
  or dentist. Your physician will probably look at less unusual possibilities for
  your symptoms, such as an infection, first.
  Mouth cancers arise when DNA alterations (mutations) occur
  in cells that line the lips or line the mouth. The instructions a cell needs to
  function are encoded in its DNA. When healthy cells would stop dividing and
  grow, the mutations tell the cells to keep growing and multiplying. It is
  possible for a tumor to develop as abnormal mouth cancer cells accumulate. They
  might eventually expand from the inside of the mouth to other parts of the
  head, neck, or entire body.
  Squamous cells, which are flat, thin cells that line the
  lips and the inside of your mouth, are where mouth cancers typically start.
  Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of oral cancer.
  It is unclear what causes the squamous cell mutations that
  result in mouth cancer. The risk of mouth cancer has been detected by medical
  Your risk of developing mouth cancer may be affected by the
  - Any type of tobacco use, such as smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, and snuff, among others
  - Heavy alcohol consumption
  - Excessive lip sun exposure
  - Human papillomavirus is a sexually transmitted disease (HPV)
  - Having a compromised immune system
  There is no known method to stop mouth cancer from
  occurring. You can, though, lessen your chance of mouth cancer if you:
  or refrain from starting
  Stop using cigarettes if you do. Don't start smoking if you
  don't already. Smoking or chewing tobacco exposes the cells in your mouth to
  potentially harmful substances that can cause cancer.
  do consume alcohol, do it in moderation
  Chronically consuming too much alcohol might irritate your
  mouth's cells, increasing your risk of developing mouth cancer. If you decide
  to consume alcohol, do so sparingly. That means that for healthy individuals,
  women of all ages and men older than 65 can have up to one drink per day, while
  males 65 and younger can have up to two drinks per day.
  sure your lips don't get too much sun
  By seeking out shade whenever you can, you may protect the
  skin of your lips from the sun. Put on a hat with a wide brim so that it may
  effectively block the sun from your entire face, including your mouth. Include
  a lip sunscreen cream in your regular sun protection routine.
  visit the dentist
  Ask your dentist to examine every area of your mouth as part
  of a routine dental examination for any abnormalities that could be signs of
  precancerous or cancerous changes in the mouth.
