Please read my editorial on the issues. It covers some important points. You will probably get a sound bite or two. **Early detection saves lives. **There is an increasing incidence of younger ( people in their 30's and 40's) non smokers who have none of the risk factors getting this disease. **When a dentist incorporates a properly done oral cancer examination as part of his regular patient check ups, he can save lives. ** More often than not, this cancer is not found in its early stages, this makes it a very dangerous disease with less than 50% of the 30,000 diagnosed people each year surviving more than 5 years.
