Prevention of Mouth Cancer

Changing your lifestyle could highly reduce the chance of oral cancer. Pay attention to the right nutrition, eat plenty of vitamins and fiber-rich foods. It is a good idea to reduce your alcohol consumption and try to stop smoking.
Additionally, it is very important to do self-examination if you notice anything unusual at the mouth area, visit your doctor!
If you visit the dentist every six months and attend an oral cancer screening, the dentist can discover the symptoms and find the source of the problem.
