Early Detection of Mouth Cancer Can Save Lives

Mouth cancer can develop in various areas—including the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, and the lower part of the mouth. It often goes unnoticed in its early stages, as symptoms may not appear right away.

Who is at risk?
People who smoke, chew tobacco, or consume alcohol regularly are at a higher risk of developing oral cancer. For them, regular oral checkups are crucial—even if no symptoms are present.

Warning signs may include:

• Sores that don’t heal

• Persistent mouth pain

• Lumps or thickening in the cheek

• Red or white patches inside the mouth

• Difficulty chewing or swallowing

What should you do?
Visit your dentist at least twice a year for a routine oral examination. Early detection greatly improves the chances of successful treatment.

If you notice any unusual symptoms, consult a specialist immediately. You can reach out to Dr. Sajjan Rajpurohit, a trusted Mouth Cancer Specialist, for expert care and guidance.

Your awareness and timely action could make all the difference.
