Detecting Oral Cancer
4
Regular Dental Check-ups
Visit your dentist regularly for routine
check-ups. Dentists are trained to spot early
signs of oral cancer during routine examinations.
5
Self-Examination
Perform regular self-examinations to check for
any changes or abnormalities in your mouth. Look
for unusual lumps, bumps, sores, or
discolourations on your lips, gums, tongue, and
mouth lining.
6
Know the Risk Factors
Understand the risk factors associated with oral
cancer, such as tobacco use (including smoking
and chewing tobacco), excessive alcohol
consumption, human papillomavirus (HPV)
infection, and prolonged sun exposure to the lips.
7
Maintain Oral Hygiene
Practice good oral hygiene habits, including
brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing daily,
and using mouthwash. Keeping your mouth clean can
help prevent oral health issues and make it
easier to detect abnormalities.
8
Monitor Symptoms
Be vigilant for any persistent symptoms such as
mouth pain, difficulty chewing or swallowing,
persistent sore throat, hoarseness, ear pain, or
changes in your voice. These could be signs of
oral cancer or other oral health problems.

Seek Prompt Medical Attention
If you notice any suspicious symptoms or changes
in your mouth that persist for more than two
weeks, consult a healthcare professional or
dentist promptly for further evaluation.

By being proactive about oral health, practising
preventive measures, and seeking timely medical
attention, you can increase the chances of
detecting oral cancer early and improve the
likelihood of successful treatment outcomes.
