A mouth ulcer can often seem like something too small to worry about. But what if it doesn’t heal?
Early-stage oral cancer may not cause pain, which is why a non-healing ulcer lasting more than two weeks can sometimes be mistaken for a minor issue and ignored. The key concern is persistence, not pain.
Through our initiative
#TaaloMatPehchaano, experts - Dr. Alok Thakar, Dr. Amrita Gogia, Dr. Deepak Sarin, Dr. K. K. Handa, and Dr. Sushila Kataria come together for an in-depth roundtable to discuss:
• Why a painless, non-healing ulcer persisting beyond two weeks is an important warning sign
• Potential contributing factors beyond tobacco, including chronic irritation from sharp teeth
• How modern reconstruction can help preserve facial appearance, speech, and quality of life
