The symptoms of oral cancer vary from patient to patient, but it is important to understand some of the earliest symptoms of oral cancer in order to know when to seek medical attention. Some of the most common symptoms of oral cancer include sores, lumps, red or white lesions, a sensation of a lump stuck in your throat, numbness of the mouth, oral pain, and trouble moving your jaw or tongue. Additional symptoms include the loss of teeth with no apparent cause, chronic sore throat or hoarseness, pain in the ears, and oral swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms, please contact our office immediately for an oral screening.
