Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer, also called cancer of the mouth, is any cancer that affects the oral cavity tissues. When detected early, oral cancer is treatable via chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. George L. Landress, D.D.S., P.C. recommends undergoing oral cancer screenings in Danbury, CT at least once every year. You can combine oral cancer screening with your bi-annual dental exams for a comprehensive oral health evaluation. If you are at a heightened risk of developing oral cancer, for instance, if you have a family history of the same or are a heavy smoker, our dentist near you may recommend more frequent screenings.
