Mouth cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that can be detected anywhere in the mouth and even on the lips.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about the smell of your breath? It is not unusual to experience bad breath from time to time.

Bad breath is one of the warning signs that you may have a condition that needs to be treated.
