Oral Cancer Screenings at Central Park West Dental

One person every hour of every day dies from oral cancer in the United States. It has become the sixth leading cancer among men, and is one of the few cancers in which the rate of detection is increasing among young adults. Most people are not aware of the potential risk factors; however, when detected early enough, the survival rate for oral cancer is very high.

At one time oral cancer was predominantly seen among smokers; however, increasingly, oral cancer is being seen in people of all ages. Although smoking is still a leading factor, many other criteria such as age, family history, ethnicity, and alcohol consumption also play a role.

At Central Park West Dental, we offer periodic oral cancer screenings. We encourage everyone to get screened...early detection could just save your life. Our office is proud to use the VELscope as a tool to detect oral cancer.
