April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month: Get Screened at Topsail Dental and Support the Oral Cancer Foundation
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of early detection, prevention, and treatment of oral cancer. At Topsail Dental, we're committed to raising awareness and supporting the fight against oral cancer. This April, for every Oral ID cancer screening completed, we’ll donate $5 to the Oral Cancer Foundation.
Oral ID is a cutting-edge oral cancer screening technology that uses fluorescence to detect early signs of oral cancer. Unlike traditional visual exams, Oral ID shines a special light to reveal abnormal tissue that might go unnoticed, helping detect potential cancerous or precancerous lesions in their earliest stages. Early detection is crucial because it dramatically increases survival rates.
You might think oral cancer only affects people who smoke or drink excessively, but the truth is that oral cancer can affect anyone, regardless of lifestyle. In fact, a significant portion of oral cancer cases are diagnosed in individuals who do not have traditional risk factors, making it all the more important to get screened regularly.
Early Detection Saves Lives: When caught early, oral cancer has a survival rate of 80-90%. Regular screenings give you the best chance of early detection.
Quick and Painless: The screening is non-invasive, takes only a few minutes, and can be done during your routine dental visit.
Peace of Mind: Even if you notice no symptoms, a screening can reassure you that you're proactively caring for your health.
It’s Part of Comprehensive Care: At Topsail Dental, we believe in providing holistic, preventive care. By incorporating Oral ID screenings into your routine visits, you’re taking an active role in your overall health, not just your oral health.
