Please reply with descriptive advice. Yours Truly,

Hi Christy,

It's good that you are concerned for your dads health.

It doesn't have to be cancer. It could be an infection, a cold sore, or a canker sore.

Does he complain of any pain? Is he favoring, chewing, on one side? When was his last dental exam? Does he smoke? How are his teeth overall?
