Yes, it can. The only way to absolutely rule out cancer is to have a dentist or oral surgeon perform a minor surgery called a biopsy. In a biopsy, the area is numbed with local anesthetic and the 'wart' is either totally or partially removed. The removed tissue is then sent to a pathology lab where a pathologist looks at the tissue under a microscope to determine if cancer is present.
