I would go to an Oncologist (cancer doctor), but you might want to call your general doctor and ask them. Good luck.

It is something that any doctor would be trained to recognize. Its a basic disease that I'm sure they all would know what it is. You should make an appointment with your regular doctor at his office and have him check it out. Then he can refer you to a specialist. Do you have a cancer center near you? You can also try going there.

Every dentist worth his salt will check for cancers in the mouth.

your family dentist or an oral surgeon, most oral surgeons want a referral from a general dentist or you can try to go to a Dental School but the wait there is often very long and oral cancer is the fastest spreading kind of cancer.

Do you have a mouth ulcer that won't go away? Go see a general practicioner and then they will tell you. While you are waiting for your appointment, go to the store and get the vitamin
l-lysine and take it and if you smoke or chew tobacco, stop that immediately. Ask for a patch. Chew gum.

A dentist will NOT do that...you need to first see your family physician who will either perform a biopsy (sample tissue) and send it to a lab, OR he or she will provide you with a referral to an internist at a hospital...good luck brother!

Odds are you will need a referal to see a specalist like that. You see your regular family doctor and ask them where to go.

An ear nose and throat specialist (ENT) or Head and Neck Specialist. If one of these feel it is cancer, they will send you to an oncologist.

start with your family Dr. if you don't have one, look up in your phone book medical doctors closest to you, make an appointment. if they think it is necessary they will have you go to a specialist. good luck to you, or whoever you speak about.
