Oral cancer can affect any part of your mouth or surrounding tissues. During your exam, your dentist will check your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer which are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Maintain Oral Health Care at Home
To keep your smile healthy between dentist appointments, be sure to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, and floss at least once a day.
