Oral Cancer

Usually detectable and  curable, oral cancer can affect lips, cheek lining, gums, tongue, floor  and roof of the mouth, and back toward the throat. About 30,000 new  cases of oral cancer are found each year. Your dentist stands as your  first line of detection and defense against this disease.
 

Always report to your dentist if you discover any of these possible signs:  

• Sores that bleed easily or do not heal
• Lumps or spots that are thick or hard
• Persistently rough or crusted areas
• Numbness, pain or tenderness that may be new or persisting

Getting to the root of the problem is critical for your physical,  emotional and oral health. Until you determine the cause and cure it,  you can protect your teeth and reduce or eliminate the pain grinding  causes you by sleeping with a nightguard. Victoria Dental Group can  custom-fit a nightguard for your mouth and give you a restful night’s  sleep free of grinding and pain.
