A member asked:
I have red patches in the roof of my mouth- they ar not painful- is it cancer? which type of doctor can check that?

Red patches: You probably have an inflammatory reaction possibly due to a viral infection. Unlikely cancer. See an ENT for evaluation.

Your dentist first: Dentists are trained to diagnose systemic diseases that affect oral cavity , so is your family doctor, before rushing to a oral surgeon.
