Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive care possible. That includes an oral cancer evaluation. Every hour of every day, one American dies of oral cancer. If detected early, oral cancer survival rates increase by 90%. If detection waits until lesions are visible to the naked eye, the survival rate drops to a staggering 35 to 40%. Oral cancer often starts as a tiny, unnoticed white or red spot or sore anywhere in the mouth. It can affect any area of the oral cavity including the lips, gum tissue, cheek lining, tongue, and the hard or soft palate. Regular dental check-ups, including an examination of the entire mouth, can detect cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions.
As part of Central CT Dental Groups comprehensive general dentistry service, our skilled team of dentists perform free oral cancer screening and examinations during your routine check-up. It’s just one of the many special services we offer our patients — and one of the reasons why people from all over the region choose our office for their dental care.
