Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral Cancer Screenings Are Vital To Catching The Disease Early

Miami Dental Sedation Spa is now offering oral cancer screenings as part of their annual exam protocol.

In our continuing effort to enhance patient care, Miami Dental Sedation Spa is proud to announce the inclusion of the Oral ID exam as an important part of our annual comprehensive oral screening protocol.

This exam is used after our standard visual oral cancer examination to help detect suspicious areas that lie underneath the surface of the tissues, which are not detectable with the naked eye.

Risk factors for oral cancer include:

  • Age 17 and over
  • Tobacco use
  • Alcohol use
  • HPV infection

Although tobacco use is a major predisposing risk factor, 25% of oral cancer victims have no lifestyle risk factors. One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United States. The American Cancer Society states that “more women in the US will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year than will be diagnosed with cervical cancer”. Current studies show an increasing link between the human papilloma virus (HPV) and oral cancer.

The implementation of the Oral ID evaluation at Miami Dental Sedation Spa is another example of our commitment to our patients to offer the latest, safest and best in modern dentistry.
