LA DENTAL EXPERTS will host an Oral Cancer Awareness Event – providing free oral health exams for the community through December, 31st 2018. Dr. Nik from LA Dental Experts stated, “We are offering Free Oral Cancer Screenings to patients who refer a family member or a friend to our office as a new patient. Their family member or friend will get a free Cancer Screening also!”
When it comes to oral cancer, silence can be deadly. Based on World Health Organization reporting, oral cavity cancer is amongst the most prevalent cancers worldwide and incidence rates are higher in men than women.
Dr. Nik and his team at LA Dental Experts will be offering free oral health exams to patients and community members. The event will take place starting today at LA Dental Experts located at 4521 Sherman Oaks Ave. in Sherman Oaks, CA. The team at LA Dental Experts will provide complimentary oral health exams during their business hours. Spots are limited; appointments are required and can be accomplished by calling (818) 668-5008.
Oral cancer can often be detected early, and with early detection, survival rates are high. Even though, oral cancer can affect anyone, regardless of whether or not they drink or use tobacco, most common causes of oral cancer include:
- Tobacco use of any kind, such as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco
- Alcohol use
- Excessive sun exposure
- The Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- A weakened immune system
Signs and symptoms may include:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- A sore that doesn't heal
- A sore that bleeds
- Difficult or painful chewing & swallowing
- A lump or thickening of the skin or lining
- Tongue pain
- Sore throat
- Loose teeth
The dentists and support staff at LA Dental Experts encourage everyone to continue routine visits with their oral health-care practitioner and ask about oral cancer screenings. An oral cancer screening is typically included in a patients’ oral health check-up every six months at LA Dental Experts.
