According to the American Cancer Society, oral cancer strikes an estimated 34, 360 Americans every year. Oral cancer can affect the lips, gum tissue, cheek lining, roof of the mouth, tongue, and floor of the mouth. Although the use of tobacco and alcohol are risk factors in developing oral cancer, approximately 25% of oral cancer patients have no known risk factors.
To ensure that the patients receive the most comprehensive dental exam possible, Andrade Dental Family offers an oral cancer screening as a part of every routine visit.
