Did you know that the cases of oral cancer have not significantly improved in decades? Historically the death rate associated with oral cancer is particularly high, not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but due to the caner being rountinely discovered late in its developement. Close to 43,250 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cor pharyngeal cancer this year. It will cause over 8,000 deaths, killing roughly 1 person per hour, 24 hours a day, every day this year. Of those 43,250 newly diagnosed individuals, only 57% will be alive in 5 years. Ask your dentist or hygienist how we can help you detect oral cancer early on, or what can be done to lower your risks.
