Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Najari strongly encourage patients to receive screenings on a routine basis, even if they don’t participate in any of the risk factors associated with oral cancer like smoking and heavy tobacco use. Early detection is your best hope of making a full recovery from this dangerous health condition. During this process, we’ll take a close look at the oral tissues, overall head, and neck. Possible symptoms that could indicate the presence of abnormal cells include:
- Strange crusts, lumps, and thickened areas of tissue
- Noticeable white/red discoloration
- Sores within the mouth that bleed very easily and don’t seem to be healing at the proper rate
