An Oral Health Screening May Save Your Life



Regular oral health screenings are essential in order to determine if there are other problems going on in your body. Oral cancer can impact thousands of Americans every year, but you do not have to be one of them. Take the time to schedule your appointment with Dr. Rice and her team today in order to have an evaluation done and ensure that you are not impacted by oral disease.

The United States does not have a current system in place that helps people regularly be evaluated for oral cancer. This year alone 1 person will die every 24 hours from oral cancer. The reason is because of the late nature in which oral cancer is usually discovered. Just visiting the periodontist on a regular basis and scheduling your oral health cleaning can save your life. Your benefits are also close to running out, so this is a perfect time to use your dental insurance benefits before the end of the year and get the benefit of great health.

Oral health screenings do not just uncover cancer though. Diabetes impacts 29.1 Million people. This number includes individuals who are diagnosed and undiagnosed. Undiagnosed diabetes can cause multiple health impacts including gum disease, decay, missing limbs and death if left untreated.
