Over 7,000 of these cases are estimated to have resulted in the patient&#8217;s death as a result of the illness. It is easy to detect oral cancer in its early stages with an annual oral cancer examination, and if detected early, it can be successfully treated with the right treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no doubt that oral cancer is a pathologic process that begins with an asymptomatic stage, in which typical cancer symptoms are not readily apparent. This is the reason why dentists are extremely important in performing oral cancer examinations. There are a variety of histologic types of oral cancer, including teratoma, adenocarcinoma, and melanoma. The most common type of oral cancer is malignant squamous cell carcinoma. Typically, this type of oral cancer originates in the lips and mouth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2e84a9cb\" data-id=\"2e84a9cb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4224b9a3 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4224b9a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"997\" src=\"https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-488\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedentalroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/service-image-1-1536x798.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-517ae2a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"517ae2a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d9f630\" data-id=\"6d9f630\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0466283 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0466283\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>This is one of the most common places in the oral cavity and maxillofacial region where oral cancer occurs.

There are many signs of pathologic changes that may indicate the presence of oral cancer during the process of examining the maxillofacial and oral regions carefully by the dentist and dental hygienist.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the course of a routine oral cancer screening, the following signs will be investigated:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lumps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 The presence of soreness, lumps, or thickening of tissue anywhere in the throat or mouth can indicate a pathological condition.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Red patches and sores<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 There can be a variety of symptoms associated with pathologic (cancerous) changes in the mouth, such as red patches on the floor, front, and sides of the tongue, not healing white or pink patches, and slow healing sores that bleed easily.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Leukoplakias &#8211; They are hardened, white or gray, slightly raised lesions from inside the mouth that are usually present anywhere inside the body.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is a possibility that a leukoplakia may be cancerous, or it may become cancerous if it is not treated.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df8739f elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df8739f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Oral cancer exams, diagnosis and treatment<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea89db0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea89db0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oral cancer examination is a completely painless process. During the visual part of the examination, the dentist will look for abnormalities and feel the face, glands and neck for unusual bumps. Lasers that can highlight pathologic changes are also a wonderful tool for oral cancer checks. The laser can \u201clook\u201d below the surface for abnormal signs and lesions that would be invisible to the naked eye.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If abnormalities, lesions, leukoplakia or lumps are apparent, the dentist will implement a diagnostic impression and treatment plan. In the event that the initial treatment plan is ineffective, a biopsy of the area will be performed. The biopsy includes a clinical evaluation which will identify the precise stage and grade of the oral lesion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In oral cancer, the basement membrane of the epithelium has to be broken in order for there to be cancer present. A malignant type of cancer that occurs in the oral cavity or maxillofacial region is prone to spreading to other sites, posing an additional secondary threat to that part of the body. The treatment methods for prostate cancer vary based on the diagnosis, but may include excision, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the severity of the tumor.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a dedicated screening for oral cancer that should be performed at least once a year during your biannual dental check-up. The dentist and hygienist will thoroughly inspect your mouth for any changes or lesions, but a more comprehensive screening should be performed twice a year.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please ask your dentist or dental hygienist if you have any questions regarding oral cancer.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7059d885 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7059d885\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fd6b994\" data-id=\"3fd6b994\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5549e2df elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5549e2df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2f8925ef\" data-id=\"2f8925ef\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27cf6dd0 elementor-view-default elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"27cf6dd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon icon-calendar1\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3e6139 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f3e6139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Schedule a Consultation<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e2552e1 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1e2552e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our dentists pride themselves on putting your needs first and offering <strong>FREE PARKING<\/strong> \u2014 a rarity for downtown dentists.
