Oral cancer: Most people who have oral cancer have riskier behaviors. Smoke, chew, alcohol, various viral infection such as hpv etc. Find a dentist with velscope if your worried. Offers increased early detection many of my riskier pts are checked at every exam with velscope. I find bout 1 case / year that is removed by surgeon.

Possible not probabl: You are too young and not in the age range for this disease. Plus a smoking history is important. Look in your mouth, do you see anything that should not be there?

Yes, but: Unlikely at your age. Signs include pain. ulcer, swelling, numb lip or chin, lump in mouth or neck. read or white area. If uncertain, see an oral surgeon for exam/biopsy.
