Did you know that Dr. Clark and our team members screen for oral cancer every time you come for your a six-month checkup? It may not seem like much, but this simple exam could save your life.
According the guidelines of the American Dental Association, the simple exam includes your lips, cheek lining, gums, the front part of your tongue, the floor of your mouth and the roof of your mouth, including your tonsils, the back section of your tongue and where your tongue attaches to the bottom of your mouth. Dr. Clark will also feel your jaw and neck for any lumps or abnormalities.
If for any reason you have a lump or sore that will not heal after two weeks, please do call us immediately. Your life could depend upon it!
Call to schedule your semi-annual exam today!
