Why Oral Cancer Screenings are So Important
Screening patients for oral cancer every year helps us catch it as soon as possible. Early detection of oral cancer facilitates early and aggressive treatment, which leads to better outcomes and survival rates.
It is important to communicate with your dentist or a physician if you notice sudden changes in your mouth or throat. These could include swelling, sores (ulcers), numbness, or difficulty swallowing or chewing. However, it is important to note that oral pain does not always occur with oral cancer. For this reason, it is very important to receive annual screenings even if you are not having any symptoms.
At our Naples dental office, patients receive oral cancer screenings in the comfort of our clean, contemporary dental office.
