Oral cancer is something that not many of us think about. When we think about oral hygiene, we think of teeth whiteners, braces, mouthwash, and mints. When we think about the bad things that could happen, we just assume it is bad breath or bad teeth. We don’t think it could be oral cancer.
However, oral cancer does happen. Just check out this story that a fellow blogger, Fabgrandma, posted about her husband’s bout with oral cancer. This should be a sobering reminder to everyone that oral cancer can, and does, happen.
