Can I Get Oral Cancer Even If I Don't Smoke or Drink?

It's a question we hear often. The short answer is yes. While smoking and heavy alcohol use are significant risk factors, oral cancer can also arise from HPV infection, sun exposure (for lip cancer), diet, and genetics. Early detection is key to successful treatment, so regular screenings are crucial, regardless of lifestyle.

What is an Odontogenic Keratocyst?

An odontogenic Keratocyst is a type of cyst that forms in the jawbone, usually around the area of a developing tooth. Although it’s a benign (non-cancerous) growth, it can be aggressive and grow large, sometimes causing damage to nearby teeth and bone.

💡 Key Points:

It’s often painless and discovered through routine dental X-rays.
It can cause swelling, tooth movement, or even infection if not treated.
Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cyst and prevent recurrence.
Early detection and treatment are essential to avoid complications.
