Oral cancer screenings are a very important part of the dental health for the patient. With the advances in modern technology, we are now able to pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in its evolution. The ability to do so is extremely important in being able to treat any issues prior to them becoming a major irreversible problem.

Certain lifestyle choices can have a great impact on the health of tissues and your overall health in the mouth. If you smoke , chew tobacco or drink alcoholic beverages , make sure to get regular screenings when you visit the dentist.
