April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month! Did you know:
58,500 Americans will be diagnosed with oral / oropharyngeal cancer this year.
Oral cancer can appear on the lips, tongue, cheek or throat- not just one spot
Early signs are often painless sores, (red or white patches) that don’t heal
To***co and alcohol use greatly increase your risk
HPV is now a leading cause even in people who don’t smoke
Early detection saves lives- regular dental checkups matter!
