Dentist Olga Ivashentseva shared information about the signs of oral cancer. Ulcers and aphthae on the oral mucosa may indicate a possible cancer. You should also pay attention to the presence of nodes and “protrusions” in the oral cavity.

The specialist recommends contacting a dentist if these symptoms are detected. Cancers can occur due to long-term injuries and exposure to various factors, such as smoking or drinking hot drinks.

Patients should consult a doctor if they notice bulging formations, nodes or ulcers that do not heal for a long time, and refrain from self-medication.
