Symptoms: Symptoms are not a good indicator of the presence of mouth cancer, but if you have some really swollen lymph nodes along your sternocleidomastoid and under the angle of your mandible and you have metastatic changes in your oral mucosa then those are better signs. If all this sounds like jibberish then visit a reputable ENT who deals with throat and mouth cancer.

Mouth cancer: Symptoms include any changes in your mouth or on your lips that do not heal or resolve in 7-10 days. However, many mouth cancers do not have any symptoms. For this reason you should have a thorough dental examination every 6 months, especially if you smoke, chew, drink alcohol, or engage in oral sex.
