Santa Clarita, CA - Oct 29th 2022: According to the American Cancer Society, 54,000 new cases of oral cancer have emerged in 2022 among Americans, out of which 11,230 deaths have been reported. These surprising numbers only point to the fact that there's a need to detect oral cancer early on.

These alarming numbers are why Copperhill Smiles, a Santa Clarita-based dental clinic, offers oral cancer screenings at every appointment. They undertake thorough dental examinations to discover whether an individual has cancerous symptoms or pre-cancerous ones.

One of the consultants at the general dentistry clinic commented, "There's a general misconception in our society that individuals who have harmful habits, such as chewing tobacco, excessive drinking, or smoking, are the only ones prone to oral cancer. But this is far from the truth. Anyone without a proper dental hygiene routine is on the spectrum of being diagnosed with this cancer type. This is why we suggest frequent oral screening and checkups to ensure effective treatment at the right time."

The dentists at the dental clinic perform certain diagnostic tests to look for indicators of oral cancer. The tests might include a visual inspection for mouth sore and white or red patches and a physical exam to check for abnormalities throughout the mouth, such as a lump.

The dentists will also ask the patient to rinse their mouth with a special screening dye. If they suspect any abnormalities, patients will be called in for further testing, which includes a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. After the confirmed diagnosis, they'll start the patient on the right course of medication.

The dentists at the Santa Clarita dental clinic suggest individuals experiencing mouth sores or pain while swallowing or chewing food to schedule an appointment with them at the earliest.
