Can periodontitis progress to gum cancer?

Ask
Hello doctor!
The doctor asked me how is gum cancer diagnosed? I had swollen, abscessed gums and was diagnosed with periodontitis after an X-ray. The doctor asked me if I have periodontitis can progress to gum cancer? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Hello!
Gum abscesses and periodontitis hardly ever turn into gum cancer. You should see a specialist for timely treatment of abscesses and periodontitis, to avoid complications caused by the disease.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you in person for more specific advice. Best regards!
