Doctors also say that if a white color remains in the mouth and around the lips of school students and children under the age of twenty, it can be a sign of oral cancer.
Dr. A.H.P.S., a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the National Dental Hospital, said that the reason for this situation is that school students are especially motivated to eat when they are packed. Karunathileka recently spoke to the media.
The expert emphasized that parents should be aware of this and work to save them from it.
He said that between 5-20 patients suffering from oral cancer and pre-cancer come to the National Dental Hospital every day and most of them can be treated easily in the early stages of oral cancer.
He recalled that the doctor in the school's dental surgery can deal with school students in particular, otherwise it is appropriate to meet with the dental therapist who is attached to the medical officer's offices and receive treatment.
It has been revealed that oral cancer is mostly caused by eating betel nut and forty nine percent of the people eat tobacco with betel nut and the expert said that this situation should be avoided. Accordingly, he emphasized that it is important to check the mouth at least once a week.
