2. April: Oral Cancer Awareness Month
 April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month. Each
year, approximately 43,250 people in the United
States receive the diagnosis of oral cancer.
 Most people are unaware of the importance of
early diagnosis of oral cancer for a full recovery.
This month, the Oral Cancer Foundation (OCF)
invites you to do your part by getting screened and
by raising awareness of the issue so that others
will get screened too.

3. Oral Cancer :7 Symptoms
Swellings, lumps or rough
spots in your mouth, neck or
jaw that do not disappear
even after 3 weeks are one
of the first signs that you
could be developing mouth
cancer.

4.  Ulcers or red or white
patches that have a
velvety texture are one
of the first signs that
crop up. If the patches
do not heal in 3 weeks, it
is highly probable that
oral cancer is starting to
develop.

5. IIIrd Symptom
 People who suffer from this cancer experience
difficulty in chewing and swallowing, moving
the jaw or tongue and speaking in the early
stages. If this occurs, it is important to take prompt
action and get it checked by a doctor.

6. IVth Symptom
 Sores in the
mouth, neck and
face that bleed
persistently and do
not heal within 2
weeks need to be
checked as they
are also symptoms
of oral cancer.

7. Vth Symptom
 Constant bleeding in
your mouth: This
looks like a generic
one but should be
checked with your
dentist.

8. VIth Symptom
 Loss of feeling or pain in
areas like your mouth,
neck, face and ear are
other indicators that oral
cancer could be
developing.

9. VIIth Symptom
 Oral cancer patients also
experience chronic sore
throat in the early stages.
The sore throat can also
be accompanied by a
lump in your throat. Once
this symptom shows up, it
is best to get it checked
out by a doctor as soon as
possible.
