There are symptoms that indicate the possibility of malignant disease.

The number of people with oral cancer increases each year in different countries of the world, where the disease affects middle-aged and aged (50-74 years), but these tumors can occur in any person and age. Malignant tumors of the salivary gland, mouth, tonsils, and throat neck area are attributed to oral cancer.

Most of these tumors are caused by dental caries and periodontal disease, ie the growth and proliferation of anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity, as well as lifestyle, which plays an important role in the development of these tumors. In other words, bad habits such as smoking and excess alcohol contribute to increasing this risk. For example, smoking increases the risk of oral cancer five times, and alcohol four times.
