Gallagher & Kuhn oral cancer screening
Oral cancer, which encompasses cancers of the mouth, throat, lips, and tongue, is a serious condition that often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced stage. Early detection is critical because it significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. That’s why regular oral cancer screenings, conducted by your dentist or dental hygienist, are so important. These screenings can help identify potential signs of oral cancer early, when treatment is most effective and the outcomes are more favorable.
Over 50,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with oral cancer every year, as reported by the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org). This highlights the importance of proactive screening. At Gallagher & Kuhn Dental Group, we conduct thorough oral cancer screenings at every exam. We monitor any areas of concern and, if necessary, may refer you for further evaluation or a biopsy. Early detection can be life-saving, so if you have any questions or concerns about oral cancer or the screening process, please don’t hesitate to ask our team of professionals. We’re here to help.
Oral cancer often doesn’t show noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making it hard for patients to detect on their own. That’s why regular screenings are essential. Your dentist will examine your mouth, throat, lips, and tongue for any unusual signs or changes that may indicate a potential problem. The earlier oral cancer is found, the easier it is to treat and the better the chances of a full recovery.
