About Oral Cancer
Although we often don’t hear about oral cancer, over 50% of patients diagnosed won’t live for another 5 years. Oral cancers, which include cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and even throat are extremely life threatening when not diagnosed and treated early enough. At Dental Wellness of Suffern, we recommend that patients receive oral cancer screenings at least twice a year, along with their routine visits to our practice. Wondering if you may have oral cancer?
