Did you know that oral cancer is the 6th most common cancer worldwide? 95% of oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. 75% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are tobacco users. An individual smoker who also consumes alcohol has a 15X greater risk of developing oral cancer. There are many adjunctive screening devices available to help dentists detect oral cancers with the progressing of modern technology. However, a through dental examination is still the standard of care in detecting early signs of oral cancers. 3-6 month visit to a dental hygienist is a healthy routine for the general population. The hygienists will likely to report any warning signs to the dentists who will determine if a biopsy is necessary.
Since the median age at an oral cancer diagnosis is 60, it is critically important that denture wearers visit the dentists for an oral cancer screening at least once a year. It’s no longer acceptable to have a set of dentures made and never see the dentists again until problem arises.
