To***co use in any form — ci******es, ci**rs, pipes, chewing to***co, or smokeless products — significantly increases your risk of oral (mouth) cancer.
Scientific research shows:
1) To***co is the leading preventable cause of oral cancer
2) To***co users are 4–5 times more likely to develop oral and throat cancers than non-users
3) Over 50,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year
4) To***co also increases the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss.
Early detection saves lives. During routine dental visits, we screen for early signs of oral cancer—when treatment is most effective.
