Reasons to Get Regular Oral Cancer Inspections

Posted on 11/16/2020 by Mark Bieber

Oral cancer develops when cells inside the mouth start to grow out of control. Oral cancer is linked to various risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol consumption; this introduces cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens) into your mouth cells. Also, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a risk factor that causes tongues cancer and tonsils. Genetics also plays a vital role in the development of oral cancer cells. To help in early detection of oral cancer, you should get regular oral cancer inspection, for it will help you in the following ways.

Early Oral cancer Detection Increases Your Survival Chances

The survival rate of oral cancer patients is at 80% to 90%, but only when detected in its early stages. However, the death rate for oral cancer patients stands at 43% because most patients realize it too late. Oral cancer is hazardous and can only be treated successfully during its first stage. If you visit our offices, we offer an oral examination that includes oral cancer screening to detect early cancer.

Early Oral cancer Detection Gives You a Peace of Mind

Having a regular oral cancer inspection gives you safety assurance. If you are a heavy smoker or have been a smoker all your life, you need to be sure about your oral cancer status. In case of anything, our professional will detect it early enough so that you can get treatment.

Oral Cancer Inspection Is Painless

Oral cancer screening is not intensive as compared to other cancer screening procedures. It is quite simple and straightforward, so it is done regularly during a dental examination. Our team of professional dentists can simply have a look at your tongue, gums, and throat to diagnose the early signs of oral cancer. In case they see any symptoms, a diagnostic test will follow to confirm if you have oral cancer and check the severity level. Contact our office if you want to know more about oral cancer screening and treatment.
