What are the odds of getting oral cancer if you've only did oral a couple of times?

None: Oral cancer is not caused from oral sex. Using tobacco is the number 1 cause.

Risk factors: There are many risk factors for oral cancer. Oral sex is only risky if your partner has hpv - so getting the hpv vaccine is believed to be protective against that cause of oral cancer. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption and poor oral hygiene are leading risk factors.
