Screening by the dentist is essential, because he can detect lesions in their pre-malignant stage or in the beginning of the malignant lesion. The chances of survival after treatment are then very high. However, the further the lesion progresses, the lower the chances of survival (9% survival rate 5 years after diagnosis for a very advanced stage IV carcinoma.)<\/p>\n<p>What the dentist is looking for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leukoplakia (white), erythroplastic (red) or erythroleukoplakia (mixed; white and red) lesion<\/li>\n<li>Ulcer chronic (more than 14 days), budding, hard with a raised rim<\/li>\n<li>Protruding and budding mass<\/li>\n<li>Burrowing lesion with a raised rim<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section   class=\"o-block animated u-bg-secondary-700\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n    <div class=\"c-media-text o-container\">\n        <div class=\"c-media-text_inner relative-media\">\n            \n             \n                <div class=\"c-media-text_media -align_v-align-top\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-media-text_image\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/dentistealdente.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/question-mark-1026526_960_720.jpg\"\n                                                alt=\"Un doute ou une\u00a0inqui\u00e9tude.\">\n                <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"c-media-text_content -align_v-align-top h1-primary-700 h2-primary-700 h3-primary-700 h4-primary-700 h5-primary-700 h6-primary-700 sub-title-primary-700 p-primary-700 link-secondary-300 link-hover-on-primary btn-primary-700 btn-bg-primary-700 btn-hover-primary-700 btn-hover-bg-primary-700\">\n                <h2>A doubt or concern<\/h2>\n<p>If you have any doubts or concerns about a lesion in your mouth, the best person to consult is your dentist. He will be happy to examine your mucous membranes and take care of an injury that requires it. Do not forget to visit it at 6 months, because most of the time the oral tumors are painless and the patients affected are not aware of them. Finally, even if bone tumors are rarer in the mouth, it is important that your dentist take a panoramic X-ray (the one that allows you to see the whole mouth) every 5 years (or more frequently for people at risk).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cancer.ca\/en\/cancer-information\/cancer-types\/oral\/what-is-oral-cancer\">For more information<\/a><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"page-category":[25],"class_list":["post-658065","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","page-category-info-clients"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.1 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Oral cavity cancers - Centre de sant\u00e9 dentaire Al Dente \u00e0 St-J\u00e9r\u00f4me<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Early detection and treatment of cancers of the oral cavity at centre de sant\u00e9 dentaire Al Dente.
