Sorry, I have to go to an apppointment Im late for, Ill have to retrieve the answer another time.
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Precancerous (before cancer) cells are formed when the normal cells in that particular area undergo abnormal changes. In terms of oral cancer, there are risk factors that increase the chance of these changes occurring such as: smoking, alcohol use. There are other risk factors that are not as common such as poor oral hygiene, poor nutrition, ill-fitting dentures, chronic infection hope your treatment goes well
