According to the American Academy of Oral Medicine, the death rate of oral and oropharyngeal cancers remains high mainly because of how common they’re discovered late in development. That means by visiting your dentist in Vero Beach regularly, you can dramatically reduce your chances of developing oral cancer before it’s too late.
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, so your dentist thought it would be a good time to help patients protect themselves by learning about oral cancer, taking note of the warning signs, and explain the importance of regular visits.
