Don’t Overlook This Checkup: Spot Cancer Symptoms in Mouth Early with Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer claims one life every hour in India, with 84% of cases detected too late. At Dr. Roy’s Dental Clinic in Lake Town, we empower patients to spot early cancer symptoms in mouth—like persistent sores, white/red patches, or unusual lumps—through quick, painless screenings integrated into routine checkups. Why risk late diagnosis when a 5-minute exam offers lifelong peace of mind?

Why Screening Matters in Kolkata

India bears 30% of the global oral cancer burden, with West Bengal among high-risk states. Key local factors:

  • Tobacco UseKhainigutka, and smoking are major triggers.

  • HPV Spread: Rising cases linked to oral sex.

  • Late Diagnosis: 70% of patients seek help at Stage III/IV.

The good news? Caught early (Stage I), survival rates jump to 80-90%.

    • Non-healing sores (>2 weeks)

    • Unusual lumps

  2. Tactile Check
    Gloved fingers gently feel for tissue changes in cheeks and floor of the mouth.
