10 Mouth Cancer Symptoms

Symptom #4: Loose Teeth
Loose teeth can be a sign of mouth cancer that can result from tumors present on the gums. The condition may affect one or several teeth depending on the size of the tumor.
Because gums provide anchorage for teeth, tumors that grow on them can displace the teeth and cause them to loosen or even fall off. However, not all cases of loose teeth are symptoms of mouth cancer. Other dental health conditions may have similar signs. Therefore, in case you have some loose teeth, visit a dentist for treatment. A biopsy of the gum tissue may be required for testing to determine the cause of the condition.
