Oral cancer
Oral cancer most often occurs in people over the age of 40. Signs of oral cancer include red spots or sores, a change in the way teeth fit together, pain or numbness, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
The most common cause of oral cancer is tobacco products. Avoid all tobacco products to reduce your risk.
See your dentist for regular check-ups and mouth examinations, because your dentist has the tools to diagnose potential problems.7
