Is your Mouth Showing These Cancer Warning Signs?

Oral cancer screening, mouth cancer symptoms, early signs of oral cancer, HPV oral cancer, tobacco and alcohol risk factors—oral cancer is often diagnosed late, reducing survival rates.

In this video, Dr. Michelle explains why your dentist is your first line of defense, what a proper oral cancer exam should include, and the warning signs you should never ignore. More than half of oral cancers are discovered at advanced stages—but early detection can dramatically improve outcomes.

You’ll learn how to check your mouth at home, what lesions and ulcers to watch for, and how tobacco, alcohol, HPV, and gum disease increase risk. Don’t skip your 6-month dental visits—they could save your life.
