Does Receding Gums, Discoloration With Painful Teeth Suggest Oral Cancer In People Using Snuff?

Hello, I have been using snuff for 10+ years and I fear I have either gum disease or oral cancer. I have receding gums and discoloration and somewhat loose or painful feelings in my teeth, but no noticed sores or lumps. I also experience headaches frequently each time I use chewing tobacco even though I'm trying to quit. Im fearing the worst. Please help
