Is Oral Cancer Greater In Non-Smokers?

New research has discovered that non-smokers face a higher risk of developing oral cancer than smokers. CRAZY...

The research was done at the University of British Columbia where they looked at 450 patients with oral lesions and discovered that non-smokers were more than twice as likely to see them develop into cancer over smokers.

The Oral Health Foundation is calling on everyone to be alert of early signs of oral cancer. Catching oral cancer early can dramatically increase your chance if beating the disease.

Some signs of oral cancer:

• Mouth ulcers that do not heal
• Constant sore throat
• Red and white patches
• Unusual lumps or bumps on the head or neck area

It's important to do regular self checks at home and if you notice anything out of the ordinary seek medical/dental attention right away!
