April 2024

Did you know that dentists often perform an oral cancer screening at preventive appointments? Oral cancers are more than twice as common in men as in women. The lifetime risk of developing oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer is about 1 in 59 for men and 1 in 139 for women.

The five-year survival rate for oral cancer is 66.2 percent, making early detection key. Recognize April as Oral Cancer Awareness Month and schedule your next preventive appointment with your dentist.
