This Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Discover Dental Rocklin is highlighting the critical importance of early detection and education. Oral cancer can develop in various areas of the mouth and throat, often caused by tobacco use, excessive drinking, or prolonged sun exposure. Changes in your mouth, like sores that don’t heal or persistent pain, should never be ignored. Regular dental visits can identify these signs early when treatment is most effective. Use this month to educate yourself and others—because prevention begins with awareness.
