There are over 80 strains of the human papilloma virus. There are only two strains that are directly linked to cervical cancer, which is the surface cells around the uterus being negatively impacted and turning cancerous. This means that the majority of strains are effectively harmless. However, they may cause benign-like growths in parts of the mouth, namely on the gums. These lesions may be hard to understand and even more difficult to spot, as many don't examine their gums as regularly as they should.
