Welcome ! In this issue of our newsletter: An important message about oral cancer from the American Dental Association Now precancerous cells can be detected-years before oral cancer can start. See your dentist regularly and ask about a brush test for oral spots.
What You Can Expect as Part of Your Routine Exam:
If a brush test finds unhealthy cells, they can typically be removed, years before they can penetrate the basement membrane and become oral cancer.
What you should know: 1. Most People Will Have tiny white or red spots in their mouth at one time or another. 2. See your Dentist Regularly for a thorough oral exam. Although the vast majority of these spots do not contain unhealthy cells, your dentist may recommend further testing. 3. Even If A Lab Identifies abnormal cells, they can then typically be removed-years before they can harm you.
