Oral Cancer

Oral cancer includes any type of cancerous tissues growth in the mouth and the back of the throat (pharynx); it can be detected at early stages during a routine dental cleaning and examination. Please note that routine cleaning means every six months or otherwise determine by your Dentist. Deaths associated with oral cancer is high not because it's difficult to discover or diagnose, but because it is often discovered late in its development. This is why it's important to practice good oral hygiene and visit the Dentist regularly, it can save your life!
