Oral cancer involves abnormal cell tissue growth in any area of the mouth, on the tongue, throat, neck lymph nodes, inner cheek, gums, palate or lips. Symptoms of Oral cancer include rashes and infections that don’t heal, bleeding that doesn’t stop, or bright red spots next to pale white patches, or even lumps inside the neck or throat. Needless to say, in the case of symptoms, timely Oral cancer screening and detection is critical to the success of Oral cancer treatment. For post-cancer patients, Denteus also specializes in Facial Prosthetic Reconstruction, a very successful procedure in reconstructing lost or deformed portions of the face, jaws and teeth.

People with the following lifestyle risks in life must get Oral cancer screening immediately on developing symptoms:

• Genetic history of cancer in the family.
• Smoking or chewing tobacco as regular habits.
• High alcohol consumption, which might have caused damage to oral cell tissues and liver.
• High exposure to UV or sun rays, especially in the case of artificial tanning, which might have caused damage to lip or skin.

Prevention is better than cure, they say.
It’s time to listen to our body.
