Oral Cancer's Startling Stats



Hope everyone had a wonderful start to May! What a wonderful, whirlwind the last few weeks have been. We had the wonderful chance to celebrate Anna on Administrative Assistant's Day. She is such an important member of our team and we couldn't do what we do without her. Big shout out to Anna!

So for the next few blogs, I was hoping to focus on Oral Cancer. It is something that is becoming more and more prevalent. CDC now recommends that patients over the age of 17 have an annual oral cancer screening. At Kai Family Dentistry, we conduct oral cancer screenings at least twice a year. We have even incorporated a special oral detection device that helps us detect questionable tissue early in its development. Early detection is key. Take a look at the startling statistics on oral cancer in the infographic above or click here for the larger version. 

Happy Friday 13th,
