Oral Cancer Screening In Boca Raton

Each time we provide care, we carefully observe various aspects of your overall health, including the large surface area of the mouth lining. Although this lining can repair itself quickly, it is important to monitor any changes that may require further evaluation.

Oral cancer can affect anyone, but tobacco users are at a significantly higher risk. Chewing tobacco contains numerous chemicals, some of which are also found in pesticides and embalming fluid. Changes in cells beneath the surface may not be detectable until they have progressed to a critical stage.

Early detection and treatment of oral cancer greatly improve the chances of a positive outcome. The American Cancer Society reports that out of 30,000 cases diagnosed annually, about 7,000 result in death. If we notice any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may recommend a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab at My Dentist For Life.
