Oral Cancer Screening

Oral Cancer Screening In Lincolnshire, IL

It’s more serious than you may think. Oral cancer claims one person every hour of every day. Over 37,000 cases will be diagnosed in the US this year.

In five years, just over half of the people diagnosed today will still be alive. Oral cancer is serious, invasive, and often diagnosed too late. Early detection is important to surviving oral cancer!

Your dentist can be your first line of defense against oral cancer. When the disease is found and treated in the early stage, before lesions are visible to the naked eye, victims have an 80% survival rate. Early detection is important to surviving oral cancer!
