Every adult should receive a visual oral cancer exam as part of routine dental care, typically performed during regular dental visits. Adding a quick self-check at home can also help you spot any unusual changes early.

You may benefit from annual screenings if you have any of the following risk factors:

• To***co use or va**ng
• Frequent alcohol consumption
• History of HPV
• Family history of oral cancer
• Age 40+

Here’s something many people don’t realize: nearly 25% of oral cancer cases occur in individuals with no known risk factors, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. That means regular screenings are important for everyone.

Early detection makes a meaningful difference. When oral cancer is identified early, treatment is often less complex and outcomes are significantly improved.

If you notice any changes in your mouth that last longer than two weeks, don’t wait to schedule an evaluation.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month—a timely reminder of how important early detection can be in protecting your overall health.

Oral cancer can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, and throat, and early symptoms are often easy to overlook. Persistent sores, lumps, red or white patches, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained pain in the mouth or neck should never be ignored.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are specially trained to evaluate abnormalities of the mouth, head, and neck, and can perform advanced diagnostic procedures when something doesn’t look or feel right.

If you notice any symptoms that last longer than two weeks, it’s important to seek a professional evaluation. Early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes.

This month, we’re proud to support Oral Cancer Awareness Month by encouraging education, awareness, and proactive care. If something feels off, trust your instincts and get it checked.

Q: How do dental implants work?

A: Dental implants replace both the root and crown of a tooth to restore function and confidence. The process includes:

1. Placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root
2. Attaching an abutment, which connects the implant to the crown
3. Securing a custom dental crown to complete the restoration

The result? A natural-looking, fully functional smile you can rely on.

Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance—they can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall oral health. Dental implants restore your smile by replacing the entire tooth structure, from root to crown, delivering results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
