Your dentist should be checking your mouth for oral cancer at every checkup. The earlier it is diagnosed(like with all cancer) the better off your results from treatment could be.
In my office, we use a device called a velscope (http://www.velscope.com/default.aspx?id=0&cat=patients). Non invasive light scope that can detect changes or abnormalities in the oral cavity. Ask your dentist about it. I have no affiliation with the velscope besides being a user in my office. I have noted at least 12 cancerous or precancerous lesions since using the velscope.
