ABSTRACT
With their attention to the oral area, dentists are in an excellent position not only to diagnose lip cancer, but also to counsel patients in its prevention. Patients need to be educated on the dangers of ultraviolet radiation and the measures available to decrease exposure to it. This article discusses the circumstances that increase the chance of developing lip cancer, the variety of ways to decrease that chance, and the recognition and treatment of premalignant and malignant lip lesions.
