Helpful
Information
Oral
Cancer
Cancer
in the mouth is like cancer anywhere else in the body.
It starts as an uncontrolled growth of cells in the
mouth. It leads to disfigurement of the face and debility
of the body.
Oral
cancer is an important and preventable killer. It
is particularly a problem in large 3rd world countries
such as India. A vast majority of oral cancers are
directly linked to chewing tobacco and smoking.
Warning
Signs
A
white or red patch in the mouth or on the tongue,
a painless ulcer which does not heal for over 2 weeks,
difficulty in eating, drinking and speaking are some
of the early signs of oral cancer. If these symptoms
appear you must consult your London Dentist or doctor
immediately.
You
can either examine yourself for these signs, or you
may contact your health care provider to do it for
you. For self-examination, you will need a mirror
and a good light. Look for any swellings, ulcers,
and white or red patches.
The
two most common conditions that can lead to cancer
are:
Leukoplakia - This is a raised white patch
seen in the mouth. The most common cause is tobacco
chewing or smoking
Submucous Fibrosis
- Inability to open the mouth due to tightening of
the cheeks. There is burning sensation when eating
any spicy food.
Treatment
If
detected early, oral cancer is curable. The smaller
the lesion, the better the chances of cure. Treatment
involves surgical removal of the afflicted parts followed
by radiation. Chemotherapy is rarely advocated. Cancer
of the lips shows 85% cure rate. Other oral cancers,
if detected early and treated promptly, may prolong
the life of patients by as much as 20 years.
If
you are unsure about any potential symptoms contact
your London Dentist immediately.
Prevention
*
Avoid bad oral habits like chewing tobacco and smoking.
These habits increase your chances of getting oral
cancer dramatically.
* Eat
a diet rich in fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables,
fish and dairy products.
* Brush
twice a day and maintain good oral hygiene.
* Visit your London Dentist regularly.
