Im concerned bout oral cancer. There is slight erosion on the gums and inside of the lip where the tobacco sits n his mouth. Should this b checked out today or can it wait til tomrw?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, As mentioned by you this could be a sign of oral lesion. I would encourage taking him to an Oral Surgeon. I would advise you to ask him to stop the habit completely. Also take an OPG radiograph to confirm the diagnosis. Take care!
