Oral Cancer Screenings

Some factors increase the risk of developing oral cancer, such as being over a certain age or partaking in certain activities. If you are exposed to the sun frequently, use tobacco products, or drink alcohol excessively, you may be at risk. You may also be at a higher risk if you have been diagnosed with HPV, are a male, or have an unhealthy diet. All of these can play a role in your risk of developing oral cancer, so speak with your dentist if any of the risk factors are relevant to you.
