What Is Mouth Cancer?
10. Who Is At Risk for Developing Mouth Cancer?
Anyone can potentially develop mouth cancer, but some people are more likely to get it than others. For instance, smoking, using tobacco products, and consuming alcohol can increase your risk of developing mouth cancer.
People with human papillomavirus or a weak immune system are also at risk. Patients should notify a doctor or dentist if they meet these criteria, as more frequent checks may be necessary.
