Oral Cancer Screenings help us detect oral cancers at the earliest stage. Oral cancer is a disease that was caused by abnormal cell growth in the mouth, lips, tongue or throat. People over the age of 45 are most at risk. The good news is that oral cancer can be treated quite successfully if caught early enough.
One person dies every hour from oral cancer complications, but if you get a comprehensive oral screening examination with your routine dental check-up, many cases could be prevented. Dentists are focused on health promotion and prevention, making them ideal practitioners to work on new requirements for long-term care.
