  3. HOW DENTAL VISITS REDUCE RISKS OF ORAL CANCER The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be around 54,000 new cases and 11,230 ● deaths in 2022 because of oropharyngeal cancer and oral cavity. Oral cancer includes cancers of the tongue, lips, throat, minor salivary glands, the floor of your ● mouth, and gums. If not detected and treated early, oral cancer can be life-threatening. That’s why many general ● dentists in Palo Alto take advantage of routine visits and dental appointments to check for signs of cancer.

  4. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ORAL CANCER Unexplained bleeding in your mouth ● Bumps or lumps, rough spots/eroded areas in your gums, lips, or other parts inside your mouth ● Speckled white-and-red patches in your mouth ● Unexplained numbness or pain in any area of your mouth, face, or neck. ● Difficulty speaking, chewing, swallowing, or moving your tongue or jaw ● Dramatic weight loss ●

  5. WHAT HAPPENS DURING ORAL CANCER SCREENING? Visual Examination: Your dentist will advise you to remove dentures or other removable dental ● devices you may have. This ensures your entire mouth is accessible. Physical Examination: If your dentist discovers an oral cancer-like symptom, they might ● recommend further testing to establish clearly what that symptom means. Oral cancer screening is not only a visual or physical examination. It’s a golden chance for you to discuss your anxieties and concerns regarding oral cancer.

  6. HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GO FOR ORAL CANCER SCREENING? Dentists recommend that all adults be screened every six months. ● Even people who maintain a healthy lifestyle may develop oral cancer. ● Some people need more frequent screenings. If you have risk factors for cancer, it is ● advisable to get screened even more frequently than twice per year.

  7.
