I did dip tobacco (smokeless) for 5 years and i quit 3 years ago. will i most likely get oral cancer even though i quit 3 years ago?

Odds in your favor: Based upon your age & description, from a statistical standpoint you have a very low chance of developing oral cancer. Tobacco in any form along with alcohol, especially when used together greatly increases the risks. The risks go up with age. Congratulations on stopping and spread the word. Everyone should still get a thorough head and neck cancer screening every 6 months as part of a dental exam

Not likely: People who stop using tobacco products, can greatly reduce their risk of all smoking related illnesses, including oral cancer. Keep up a good job!

No: No. You are still at increased risk, but the risk declines the longer you refrain from tobacco. Unless you smoke other forms of tobacco, within a few years your risk should be the same as nonsmokers. Congratulations for quitting!!!

Not Likely : You have reduced your oral cancer risk significantly by quitting smokeless tobacco and sticking to it. Your risk now is just slightly more than if you had never used it. You should be fine. Just be sure to stick to your routine dental visits so your dentist can keep a lookout for any changes.

Reduced Risk: Your risks are reduced, but any cellular damage done during that time may take years to manifest itself so the future is unknown. It's best to be examined twice yearly by your dentist for an oral cancer screening and hygiene visit.
