  • Red, white, or red-and-white lesions in the mouth or on the lips
  • Lumps or rough spots on the lips, gums, or soft tissue
  • Unexplained bleeding in the mouth
  • Unexplained pain or numbness around the mouth, neck, or face
  • Ear pain
  • A chronic sore throat or sensation of something caught in the throat
  • Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or chewing
  • Change in bite
