Oral cancers One of the most important types of tumors. According to a report published by rush.edu, this cancer can appear in various areas of the mouth, including the tonsils, pharynx, and larynx, but many signs and symptoms do not appear in this type of cancer.
According to the report, men are most susceptible to this cancer, but patients who have undergone organ transplants, or patients with suppressed immunity, are more susceptible to it. But can this type of cancer be prevented?
A report published on the uclahealth medical website answers, explaining a set of effective methods of preventing this cancer, the most important of which are:
To prevent oral cancer, you must take full, regular daily care of your oral health in general, through daily cleaning of the teeth with toothpaste and brush, attention to gargling and cleaning the tongue, and attention to cleaning the gums as well.
– Taking care of periodic examination of the mouth, gums and teeth, because oral cancer is one of the slow cancers that works silently, and if we detect it early, this will enhance its early treatment and get rid of it, so regular examination prevents delayed detection and difficulty in treating it.
Attention must be paid to getting rid of all types of smoking, as smoking is the most important cause of all types of cancer, especially the mouth, and it has many negative effects on the health of the mouth and gums, and therefore it must be completely abstained from it.
One of the most important ways to prevent mouth cancer is to pay attention to treating all problems in the mouth and gums first. Ulcers, cyanosis, and recurrent infections must be treated quickly, and you must follow up on whether they heal quickly or not, because if they do, you must quickly present them to a specialist to examine the reason for the delay. .
The report advises monitoring any changes affecting the mouth, including changing gum colors, the appearance of lumps or swellings, recurring ulcers, and any changes in the nature of the mouth.
