April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of early detection in preventing oral cancer. At Northstar Family Dental, we’re committed to your health, which is why we include oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental exams.

• Why Early Detection Matters:
  Oral cancer is highly treatable when detected early, making regular screenings essential. During your exam, we look for any unusual lumps, sores, or lesions in your mouth, gums, and throat. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, so don’t skip your routine visits.
• Know the Signs:
  Be aware of any changes in your mouth or throat, such as:
  • Persistent sores or ulcers
  • Red or white patches
  • Difficulty swallowing or chewing
  • Lumps or thickening in the neck
• If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us right away.

This April, take the time to schedule your check-up.

Early detection of oral cancer can save lives, and we’re here to help you stay healthy.
