Hello doctors, what does oral cancer look like?

Oral Cancer: There is no one appearance. It can be small and innocuous looking or large and menacing in appearance. As trained dentists, we usually cannot know in the early stages whether or not a lesion is benign or cancerous (or not a neoplasm). That's why we need to remove and biopsy most lesions. All lesions that are not gone after two weeks warrant a visit to an oral surgeon for an evaluation.

Oral cancer : Oral cancer appears as a growth or sore in the mouth that does not go away. If concerned see your dentist ASAP.
