Beware of the risks of not seeing your dentist because you could be developing oral cancers and not even know it. Risky sexual practices and lifestyle habits such as smoking, chewing tobacco and drinking add to the risk.
This article explains the relationship between the human papilloma virus (HPV) and the tremendous increase in oral, head and neck cancers in men in their 40s and 50s. You could have been exposed to the virus 4 decades ago, and now, it pops up.
