Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 4 | Well I have a tooth, buttom right, last molar.
So the last few weeks I have noticed a few things. My last molar started hurting like a long time ago...But noticed today that it has actually moved, out and like..crooked.
There are also a few lumps/bumps on the inside of my mouth near the molar that moved. Also an ulcer of some sort.
Anyone else have these symptoms?

The previous advice about seeing an ENT still stands. Find one who is experienced in treating oral cancer patients. Any spot or sore inside your mouth that is there for 2 weeks or longer needs to be checked by a professional. If you are smoking that will have an impact on everything you are experiencing. It could be many things beside oral cancer.
