See your dentist.: If you suspect a lesion or something that is not normal in your mouth, you should see your dentist for his evaluation. He may refer you to an oral surgeon for his opinion and possible biopsy to be sure what it is. Don't wait if something is not right.

See your dentist: Oral cancer is an ideal cancer to identify early by screening during your routine dental examination. Some dentists may use additional tests (different types of lights to detect abnormal cells) to aid in identifying areas of abnormal cells in your mouth. The goal with oral cancer screening is to identify cancer early.
