Why Oral Cancer Screenings Matter

Oral cancer can impact any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, throat and gums. Unfortunately, it often develops without obvious symptoms, particularly in its earliest stages. By scheduling regular oral cancer screenings, you are taking an important step toward early detection and prompt treatment.

Some risk factors for oral cancer include:

  • Tobacco use, including cigarettes and chewing tobacco
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Family history of oral cancer
  • Prolonged sun exposure to the lips

While oral cancer can affect anyone, individuals with these risk factors may benefit from more frequent screenings.
