But did you know that April is also Oral Cancer\nAwareness Month? How much do you know about this serious condition? Although\nnot as commonly discussed as other types, oral cancer is a deadly disease. In\nfact, one person dies every hour of every day of oral cancer. Also, 53,000\npeople are expected to be newly diagnosed in 2019, and only a little more than\nhalf will likely survive to the five-year mark. This April, take an opportunity\nto learn more about this form of cancer and how getting an oral cancer\nscreening in Lacey can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the signs of oral cancer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral cancer can show up in many different ways, including\nthe following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sores in your mouth or on your lips that won\u2019t\nheal after more than two weeks.<\/li><li>Lumps or bumps in your mouth or around your jaw.<\/li><li>Red, white or speckled patches of tissue in your\nmouth.<\/li><li>Patches of tissue that are thicker than in other\nareas.<\/li><li>Difficulty or pain in swallowing or chewing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you experience any of these symptoms, particularly for an\nextended period of time, contact your doctor or dentist in Lacey right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an oral cancer screening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcdentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental checkup and\ncleaning<\/a> appointment, your dentist performs an oral cancer screening.\nCompared to other tests for cancers like mammograms, oral cancer screenings are\nquick, painless, and non-invasive. Your dentist begins by asking you about any\nchanges to your medical history or any unusual symptoms you may be\nexperiencing. They visually examine your gums, tongue, and the soft and hard\ntissues in your mouth looking for any indication of potentially cancerous\ncells. They may need to use gauze to hold and move your tongue so they can get\na better view of the back of your mouth, where oral cancer can often manifest.\nThen, they gently feel around your jaw for suspicious bumps or lumps. If they\ndo find something concerning, they will refer you to your doctor for additional\ntesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is getting a regular oral cancer screening so important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary reason that oral cancer has such a high\nmortality rate isn\u2019t because it\u2019s difficult to diagnose\u2014it\u2019s because oral\ncancer is so often found during the later stages of development. At that point,\ntreatment often comes too late to make a significant impact. In contrast, when\noral cancer is found and treated during the early stages of development, the\nsurvival rate jumps up to 90 percent. By attending your dental checkup every\nsix months, you help ensure that, if you do have oral cancer, you have the best\nchance of detecting it early and overcoming it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, an oral cancer screening may only take a couple\nof minutes, but it could save your life! It\u2019s just another reason why attending\nyour dental checkup and cleaning appointment with your dentist is so important.\nEven if you don\u2019t have oral cancer, you can have added peace of mind moving\nforward, and if you do, you hopefully will have a better prognosis for enjoying\nmany more years of a fulfilling life. Contact your dentist in Lacey to schedule\nyour appointment and get your oral cancer screening today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With years of dental experience and expertise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcdentistry.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Venn Peterson and Dr.\nSpenser Cammack<\/a> provide a full spectrum of dental services, including\ncosmetic treatment, dental implant placement and restoration, emergency\ndentistry, and preventive care.
