It can appear in many forms such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A lump or bump in your soft tissue<\/li>\n<li>Changes in the color of your soft tissue, such as red or white patches<\/li>\n<li>A sore in your mouth that won\u2019t go away<\/li>\n<li>Numbness in your mouth or throat<\/li>\n<li>Pain in your mouth or throat that doesn\u2019t go away<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of these symptoms are hard to detect on your own, and are often attributed to other issues, which is why oral cancer often remains undiagnosed. If you notice any changes to your mouth or your oral health, it\u2019s important to contact your dental team at Creative Dental Concepts right away and schedule an examination.<\/p>\n<h3>Prevention and Oral Cancer<\/h3>\n<p>Oral cancer in Syracuse can be treated with the best results in its earliest stages.
