Your Dentist is First Line of Defense Against Oral Cancer
Many people are surprised to learn that cancer screening is a typical component of one’s regular dental checkup, especially for those over the age of 40. While most dentists don’t discuss this aspect of the checkup with their patients, dental professionals are trained to spot signs of oral cancer and their exams represent the first line of diagnostic defense against the disease. Your Marco Island dental professionals are no exception, so the next time you’re getting a checkup at Island Tower Dentistry know that their health care extends beyond just your teeth and gums.
