Oral cancer is a serious health risk that becomes more prevalent with age. For adults over 40, regular oral cancer screenings are crucial for early detection and effective treatment, which can significantly improve outcomes.
Importance of Screenings:
Oral cancer can develop on the lips, tongue, cheeks, and other areas of the mouth. Early signs may include persistent sores, lumps, or changes in the color or texture of oral tissues. Without early detection, oral cancer can spread, becoming more difficult to treat.
Screening Process:
During an oral cancer screening, your dentist will examine your mouth for any signs of abnormal tissue changes. If any suspicious areas are found, further testing may be recommended to determine whether they are cancerous. Regular screenings should be a part of your routine dental visits, especially if you have risk factors like tobacco or alcohol use.
