With sexually transmitted HPV16 rates increasing, oral cancer patients are increasingly young, healthy and non-smoking individuals.<\/li><li>Oral cancer is particularly dangerous because in its early stages it may not be noticed by the patient, as it can frequently prosper without producing pain or symptoms they might readily recognize, and because it has a high risk of producing second, primary tumors. This means that patients who survive a first encounter with the disease, have up to a 20 times higher risk of developing a second cancer.<\/li><li>It is estimated that approximately $3.2 billion is spent in the United States each year on treatment of head and neck cancers. (2010 numbers).<\/li><li>The good news is that a dentist or a dental hygienist can see or feel the precancerous tissue changes which might lead to a cancer. The examination takes less than 5-10 min of your time.<\/li><li>Visual and tactile exam is inexpensive, painless and quick.<\/li><li>Everyone over age of 18 should be screened annually.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April is Oral Cancer month.
