My husband's oral cancers were both spotted first by his hygienist during routine cleaning. The first time it was after two medical doctors had said the soreness in the back of his mouth was nothing. The second time he had just had a going over by his surgeon to look for a recurrence 5 days before. It is just so important for the dental professionals to look at more than the teeth. Anything out of the ordinary deserves a biopsy.
