Oral Cancer Prevention

While family history and genetics can make you predisposed to oral cancer, there are many preventative measures that you can take in order to minimize the risk of this hereditary concern. You can reduce your odds of getting oral cancer by making healthy choices.

These Include:

• First and foremost, seeing your Silvaroli dentist regularly
• Stopping tobacco use
• Minimizing alcohol consumption
• Preventing excessive sun exposure to your mouth

Oral cancer is a life-threatening disease that is curable if detected at an early stage. At Silvaroli Dental, we are dedicated to determining causes and improving treatments for mouth cancer. Our dentists are trained to identify oral cancer in its early stages. Our team of professionals recognizes mouth cancer upon the first appearance.

Oral cancer usually presents as white or red lesions inside the mouth. With each exam at Silvaroli Dental, you will be observed and palpated for basic oral cancer symptoms and indicators. In addition to our physical examination, technology allows us to x-ray, brush, biopsy, and laser for oral cancer.

Contracting cancer in your mouth can be as dreadful as it sounds, especially being so close to your airway and nasal passages. Severe oral cancer can impact the ability to swallow and speak, in addition to hindering the physical appearance of your face and mouth. Along with the significant physical symptoms, these cosmetic changes can lead to severe physical dissociation and emotional complications.
