April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month
While smoking and tobacco use are still major risk factors, the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients is young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals due to the connection to the HPV virus.
We cannot stop this virus from spreading; but as health professionals our only hope to save lives is through public awareness and alert about the need for early detection. Together, we have the opportunity to make a difference in the world of oral cancers.
Oral cancer screening is part of our office check-up routine protocol.
Offer screenings throughout the month where interested patients can call in and schedule an appointment. This way our staff can schedule the screenings at a convenient time for you; in-between currently scheduled patient appointments or even after hours.
