Your health is of the utmost importance, and it's essential to take a proactive approach. The American Dental Association reports that oral or oropharyngeal cancer continues to impact many adults across the United States. Despite ongoing efforts, over 50,000 new cases are expected this year alone, with around 10,000 fatalities.
While these numbers remain alarmingly high, prevention and early detection can significantly reduce risk factors and greatly improve treatment outcomes. At the office of Alta Dental, your dental health and overall well-being are our top priorities. With a comprehensive understanding of oral cancer, we provide skilled care to keep you in optimal condition.
Signs and symptoms of oral cancer can often be mistaken for benign issues that may resolve on their own. As a result, many people remain unaware of a serious condition lurking within their mouths. A healthy lifestyle and avoidance of harmful habits are vital, but regular dental checkups with oral cancer screenings play an equally important role in detection.
In fact, it's at these routine checkups that many cases of oral cancer first get discovered. At our office, we perform thorough oral cancer screenings as part of our comprehensive dental examinations. We carefully inspect the tissues within and around your oral cavity while also palpating the jaw, neck, and under the chin for any unusual lumps or lesions.
If you notice any of these tissue changes or lingering symptoms within your oral cavity, inform us immediately:
