One of the most common types of cancer is cancer of the oral mucosa, which can be accompanied by dryness, bad breath, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. Erika Sotnikova, a dentist in the BestDoctor group of companies, told socialbites.ca.
According to him, in the early stages, such cancers are asymptomatic and appear in the form of nodules or ulcers. Then its diameter increases and pain occurs.
“The main symptoms include pain or discomfort, numbness in the mouth, and persistent growths, including spots, ulcers, and swellings. Risk factors include hereditary predisposition, weakened immunity caused by AIDS, or drug use,” he said.
Also, the risk of developing the disease increases with strict diets, frequent damage to the gums, for example, due to incorrectly selected braces, dentures or piercings, poor hygiene, caries and other oral diseases, as well as smoking.
“There are a number of preventive measures that will help prevent the development of oral mucosa cancer: a doctor’s examination every six months, giving up bad habits and maintaining proper nutrition and oral hygiene. “It is also important to avoid chronic injuries such as nail biting,” the doctor explained.
