Can oral cancer be prevented?
You can lower your risk by avoiding tobacco/alcohol, protecting lips from sun, getting HPV vaccinated (if eligible), and having regular dental exams.
I’m worried about what I see in my mouth—should I panic?
Many mouth changes are harmless (e.g., from injury or infection), but persistent ones deserve professional evaluation. A quick check can ease your mind or catch issues early.
This isn’t medical advice, and I’m not a doctor—always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalized evaluation and diagnosis. If you’re experiencing symptoms, reach out to your dentist or physician right away for proper assessment. Early attention can provide peace of mind and better outcomes. Stay vigilant about your health—you’ve got this.
