April is National Oral Cancer Awareness Month


Cancer is a word that many people just do not want to hear. It is a terrible disease that affects so many different people. Young or old it doesn't matter. Cancer is real and almost everyone's life has been touched by this disease in some way or another. Early detection of this disease could be a life saver. We have mammograms, pap smears, and prostate screenings to detect certain kinds of cancer. Another type of cancer that we have a screening for now is for oral cancer. A majority of oral cancer cases aren't discovered until the later stages because most cancer lesions can't be seen during traditional screenings. A screening here at Suwanee Dental Care with our Velscope will help to detect any cancer lesions that are present. This screening will allow us to detect any lesions that may be in the early stages and favoring a higher survival rate.

The month of April is National Oral Cancer Awareness month. Suwanee Dental Care is offering our oral cancer screening with the Velscope at half price. We think this is a very important screening to have. We would love for any one, patient or not, to call and schedule an appointment for this screen. Please make all of your friends aware of this and just how important a simple screening could be.
