Oral cancer is a disease that can lead to serious health problems if not diagnosed early. At Dehadent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we prioritize raising awareness about oral cancer among our patients and emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. Early diagnosis increases treatment success and preserves quality of life.

What is Oral Cancer?

Oral cancer is a malignant tumor that can begin on the lips, tongue, inside the cheeks, gums, and the floor of the mouth. Factors that increase the risk of oral cancer include smoking, alcohol use, poor oral hygiene, and certain viruses.
