Oral Cancer Has Similarities to Other Types of Cancer
In many cases, you may have early signs of oral cancer and not be aware of it. Similar to other types of cancer that are only detectable through screening, oral cancer can go undetected. Another characteristic is that oral cancer can occur in patients who do not smoke.
Like other types of cancer, oral cancer gets classified into its stage of development: T for tumor size, N to indicate if the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes, and M to indicate if the condition has spread to other parts of the anatomy.

Early Detection and Treatment Are Important
Although oral conditions like bleeding gums are not a sure sign of oral cancer, the symptoms can only be diagnosed by a medical professional. That is why our dentist makes a visual screening part of every dental exam we perform.
Even if you examine your tongue and mouth at home in the mirror, you will not be able to see your mouth in the same perspective and magnification that our dentist can. Early detection means treatment can begin earlier.
If it’s been more than six months since your last dental exam or you have noticed any change in your oral or general health, including dryness in your throat, a change in your voice, or any type of ear pain, we encourage you to schedule an appointment for an oral cancer screening with our Boca Raton dentist today.

I absolutely LOVE this Dental office! Dr. A is the absolute best, very experienced, quick and genuinely cares about the comfortability of his patients. I wouldn't want anyone else to work on my teeth but him. His staff are all extremely kind and I always leave much better (mentally and physically) and cleaner than when I went in. I would absolutely recommend this place 100% of the time!! :)

Rachel HoldmanI had to have my front tooth crown replaced because it was poorly done by a previous dentist
My new front crown is PERFECT! Dr A and the staff made sure I was completely satisfied and the tooth matches perfectly. This is very difficult to do with your front teeth
Highly recommend Dental Care! They also have very convenient office hours!

Mileydi MathisonVery nice place and wonderful staff, I was always very well informed about every aspect of my treatment plan and they assisted me very well on some scheduling issues I had due to my time availability. The doctor was very knowledgeble and made me feel very confident and relaxed about my diagnostic and treatment.
So far I have been to the office twice and had a very good experience. I definitely recommend.
