Mouth Cancer :
Mouth cancer is one of the leading conditions that is evidently seen in patients with a tobacco history. It affects all regions and tissues of the oral cavity. It initially manifests as open sores, white patches or streaks across mucous membranes, lumps, mobile teeth and difficulty swallowing. An oral surgeon conducts a complete examination of the oral cavity and performs tissue biopsy to rule out the underlying condition. Surgical excision or intervention is a preferred treatment option to prevent progression of the cancer. Adherence to recommended chemotherapy and radiation therapy sessions may help during the maintenance phases. Mouth cancers can signify the presence of other systemic conditions. Counseling sessions on tobacco cessation and alcohol consumption play a significant part of the treatment plan.
