Feel the tissue surfaces around the lips and cheeks. Look at the gums from the front and using the small mirror, look at the tongue side through another mirror, to view the inner gums. By lifting your head back, look at the roof of your mouth and feel with your forefinger if any bumps or growths are present. Also note if any color changes are evident. Take a gauze or tissue and gently pull your tongue out slowly. View all surfaces, top, bottom, sides, to see if any color changes or if any red or white lesions are present. Also note if any other abnormal changes are present, or if any wound takes too long to heal.

We have had a number of very successful screening clinics in the Pittsburgh area which have taken place in a variety of venues, such as supermarkets, churches and barbershops, all of which are in medically under-served areas. In addition to the screening clinics, we have had a very successful series of continuing education programs designed specifically for practicing dentists and oral maxillofacial surgeons. We also had numerous presentations at the 6th International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer held in Washington, DC, August 7-11, 2004. The Program's basic science investigations continue to thrive, with all of our laboratories now having enough data to publish in scientific journals. One of our investigators was recently featured on the front page of USA Today in an article focusing on her scientific observations in the area of genetic susceptibility to oral cancer. Our clinical research activity is underway with the continuation of the EGFR gene therapy program.

To keep his body strong, he did not smoke or drink. But he did use smokeless tobacco, because he thought it wasn't harmful to his health. When oral cancer was discovered, part of Sean's tongue was removed. But the cancer spread. More surgeries followed, including removal of his jaw bone. In his last hours, Sean wrote - -he could no longer speak- -a plea to his peers; "Don't dip snuff". He died at age 19. What Is Spit Tobacco? There are two forms of spit tobacco: chewing tobacco and snuff. Chewing tobacco is usually sold as leaf tobacco (packaged in a pouch) or plug tobacco (in brick form) and both are put between the cheek and gum. Users keep chewing tobacco in their mouths for several hours to get a continuous high from the nicotine in the tobacco. Snuff is a powdered tobacco (usually sold in cans) that is put between the lower lip and the gum. Just a pinch is all that’s needed to release the nicotine, which is then swiftly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in a quick high. Sounds ok, right? Not exactly, keep reading.

Causes Cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoking; smokeless tobacco; or excessive use of alcohol. There has been a recent increase in the use of smokeless tobacco in any form, such as plug, leaf, and snuff. However, the most popular with adolescent and young adult males is the practice of "dipping snuff." This tobacco product, in the form of a moist powder, is placed between the cheek and gum. Nicotine and other carcinogens are then absorbed directly through the skin. Incidence Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world (1). The literature indicates that at least 30,000 new cases of oral and oralpharyngeal cancers are diagnosed each year (2, 3). Incidence rates are greater than 2:1 male-to-female for oral cavity cancers, and are greatest in men over age 40 (2, 4).

Treatment statement for Health professionals Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer Get this document via a secure connection General Information Cellular Classification Stage Information ... More Information General Information Note: Separate PDQ summaries on Prevention of Oral Cancer and Screening for Oral Cancer are also available. The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junctions of the anterior lips to the junction of the hard and soft palates above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below and is divided into the following specific areas: Lip. Anterior two thirds of tongue. Buccal mucosa. Floor of mouth. Lower gingiva. Retromolar trigone. Upper gingiva. Hard palate. The main routes of lymph node drainage are into the first station nodes (i.e., buccinator, jugulodigastric, submandibular, and submental). Sites close to the midline often drain bilaterally. Second station nodes include the parotid, jugular, and the upper and lower posterior cervical nodes. Early cancers (stage I and stage II) of the lip and oral cavity are highly curable by surgery or by radiation therapy, and the choice of treatment is dictated by the anticipated functional and cosmetic results of treatment and by the availability of the particular expertise required of the surgeon or radiation oncologist for the individual patient. [ ] Furthermore, because local recurrence and/or distant metastases are common in this group of patients, they should be considered for clinical trials. Such trials evaluate the potential role of radiation modifiers or combination chemotherapy combined with surgery and/or radiation therapy.

Sedano, DDS, Dr. Odont Tobacco usage either smoked (cigarette and pipe) or chewed and or dipped, has become one of the larger health problems world wide to the degree that is considered by some a world epidemic. Additional consequences to tobacco usage are, among others: expensive medical cost originated by prolonged treatments of diseases associated with tobacco usage; increased demand on professional health services and diminished work productivity and lost work days by tobacco users. A condensed review of tobacco usage in its various forms and its impact on oral health is presented here according to the topics listed below. Brief historical review General statistics Tobacco and precancerous lesions Tobacco and oral carcinoma ... References BRIEF HISTORICAL REVIEW For the first time in 1997 the tobacco companies acknowledged that tobacco is addictive either smoked or chewed. Tobacco has been linked to heart disease, strokes, lung diseases, lung cancer, oral cancer, gum disease and tooth loss. It took over 500 years to definitely shift from the original assumption that tobacco was beneficial for human health to the present knowledge that tobacco is essentially a killer.
