The thought of having cancer is a frightening prospect for the vast majority of people. But oral cancer, similar to other forms of the disease, is often treatable if caught in the early stages. That’s why it’s so important to visit your dentist on a regular basis for periodic exams. If there are signs of oral cancer present, your dentist will be able to identify those signs early on and recommend the appropriate treatment options.
Why Oral Cancer Screening Is So Important
Patients with early stages of oral cancer often exhibit few if any symptoms. Fortunately, your dentist can use a variety of cutting-edge technological methods to examine patients for any early signs of oral cancer that may be present. Early detection is extremely important in fighting the disease, which is why oral cancer screenings are so important.
Oral Cancer Screening Are Routine
Fortunately, Drs. Abayomi and Modrall include oral cancer screenings as part of their routine exams. This means that you and your family will be routinely checked for any sign of oral cancer as long as you come in for your periodic exams and professional cleanings. As it turns out, those routine visits are vital not only in maintaining healthy teeth and gums, but also vital to your overall health.
