Here, at Southern Family Dental, we take Mouth Cancer Awareness seriously. During dental check ups, we conduct a head and neck exam to screen for signs of oral cancer. We visually inspect the mouth, jaw, and neck. Catching this early can make a huge difference in the treatment and recovery of a patient.
We wanted to offer you a few tips on how to reduce AND increase your risks of mouth cancer, as well as symptoms, so you can be aware!
Ways to reduce your risk of mouth cancer:
Usual Mouth Cancer Symptoms:
Early detection of oral cancer means it often can be treated more easily. If you find any of the following symptoms change in your health, please reach out to your dentist.
Pay attention to signs and symptoms of oral cancer between appointments, and call us if you experience lingering sores or irritations, red or white patches, or lumps, or rough spots in and around the mouth.
Welcome to the official blog of Southern Family Dental! We like to keep our patients informed about what is happening in our practice, as well as news from the dental industry that helps you make more informed treatment decisions for you and your family. Please check back periodically to learn more.
