Men are twice more likely to get oral cancer than women. Smokers and excessive alcohol drinkers older than 50 are the most at-risk.<\/p>\n<p>The human papilloma virus (HPV), which is sexually transmitted, has also been associated with throat cancers at the back of the mouth. HPV-positive head and neck cancers are related to the rise in throat cancers in non-smoking adults. HPV-positive head and neck cancers typically develop in the throat at the base of the tongue and in the folds of the tonsils making them difficult to detect. Although people with HPV-positive cancers have a lower risk of dying or having recurrence than those with HPV-negative cancers, early diagnosis is associated with the best outcomes. Regular dental check-ups that include an examination of the entire head and neck can be vital in detecting cancer early.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e463-36 mcv-0 mcv-3 mcv-7 mcv-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e463-37 mcv-f mcv-h\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e463-38 mcv-i\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e463-39 mcv-k mcv-m mcv-n mcv-o\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">How Can My Dentist Help Detect Oral Cancer Early?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-frame x-frame-video-embed e463-40 mcv-r mcv-s\"><div class=\"x-frame-inner\"><div class=\"x-video x-video-embed\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_CSwFT42xCo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e463-41 mcv-u mcv-v mcv-x\"><p>During your regular exam, your dentist will ask you about changes in your medical history and whether you\u2019ve been having any new or unusual symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Then, your dentist will check your oral cavity. This includes your lips, cheek lining, gums, the front part of your tongue, the floor of your mouth and the roof of your mouth. Your dentist will also examine your throat (pharynx) at the soft part at the roof of your mouth, including your tonsils, the back section of your tongue and where your tongue attaches to the bottom of your mouth. The dentist will then feel your jaw and neck for any lumps or abnormalities.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e463-42 mcv-0 mcv-3 mcv-7 mcv-8\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e463-43 mcv-f mcv-h\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e463-44 mcv-i\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e463-45 mcv-k mcv-m mcv-n mcv-o\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">What Happens If My Dentist Finds Something Suspicious?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e463-46 mcv-v mcv-w\">Stay calm.

Your dentist might also reexamine you a week or two later to see if questionable spots are healing on their own before recommending additional follow-up.

Men are twice more likely to get oral cancer as they get older. If you smoke, drink excessive amounts of alcohol or have a poor diet, changing these habits can decrease the chances of developing oral cancer.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nCertain strains of HPV can also put you at risk. The CDC recommends that 11- to 12-year-old boys and girls get two doses of HPV vaccine to prevent cervical and other less common genital cancers. It is possible that the HPV vaccine might also prevent head and neck cancers \u2013 since the vaccine prevents an initial infection with HPV types that can cause head and neck cancers \u2013 but the studies currently underway do not yet have sufficient data to say whether the HPV vaccine will prevent these cancers.<\/p>\n<p>If you have had oral cancer before, you may be more likely to develop it again so keep up those regular visits.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e463-52 mcv-0 mcv-3 mcv-6 mcv-a\"><div class=\"cs-content x-global-block x-global-block-274
