I'm scared i may have oral cancer. what are the signs?

No sure-fire signs: Oral cancer takes many different forms and identifying it is not always easy and requires professional examination. Many forms of oral cancer are visually indistinguishable from other less dangerous lesions and may require biopsy to identify. Have an examination by your dentist and share your concerns.

Get an exam: Oral cancer can have many different appearances and signs that may even mimic other common conditions. If you are worried, visit your dentist for an exam. He or she can advise you best based on what they see.
