April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month. Regular dental checkups can save your life by detecting oral cancer early, but it’s important for you to know the symptoms, too. Common warning signs you should always bring to your dentist include a mouth sore that isn’t going away, red or white patches on your tongue or gums, and difficulty chewing or swallowing.
