Oral Surgery Houston and Oral Cancer

Oral Surgery Houston

Early recognition of oral cancer is key to a successful treatment so performing a simple, self examination every month will greatly help identify an area of suspicion that you can ask your dentist or oral surgeon to look at further. A self exam should include a thorough inspection of the lips, gums, roof, tongue and inner cheeks. If you detect any of the follwing features, schedule an appointment with a qualified medical expert for further evaluation: 

• a red or white patche
• a persistant sore
• abnormal lump or mass

Oral cancer can be caused by a number of factors: 

• tobacco
• alcohol
• poor oral hygiene
• poor nutrition
• persistant infections
