How wonderful, David! My suggestion is how important oral check-ups are with a dentist/physician/self - anything curious...do not wait...once most of these ugly tumors show up the cancer is pretty advanced.....and that oral cancer is on the increase...and most importantly www.oralcancerfoundation.org!!
