Routine Oral Cancer Screening

A Screening for Oral Cancer
If detected in the earliest stages, there is a 90% chance to cure oral cancer. We conduct visual screenings of the interior of your mouth twice a year during your check-ups and cleanings. If the doctor or hygienist sees any deviation from healthy tissue, you will be referred to an oral surgeon.

For over 40 years the rate of deaths from oral cancer has not changed. Statistics show that one American dies every hour from this cancer. We take your good health seriously on many levels, and this quick and easy screening can save your life!

Diabetes and Your Mouth # 2: Control Diabetes to Keep Your Smile

Well-controlled diabetes contributes to a healthy mouth. If you have poorly controlled or high blood sugar, your risk increases for dry mouth, gum disease, tooth loss, and fungal infections like thrush. Since infections can also make blood sugar rise, your diabetes may become even harder to control. Keeping your mouth healthy can help you manage your blood sugar.

Diabetes and Your Mouth # 1 : 4 Signs You May Have a Problem

Diabetes puts you at risk for dental problems. It impairs the ability to fight bacteria in your mouth. Having high blood sugar encourages bacteria to grow and contributes to gum disease. You may have gum disease if you have:

  • Gums that are red, sore, bleeding, or swollen, or that pull away from your teeth
  • Loose teeth
  • Chronic bad breath
  • An irregular bite or dentures that don't fit well
