November is Mouth Cancer Action Month, a time to raise awareness about oral cancer and the importance of early detection. Oral cancer can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat, and catching it early dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment. At Mist Dental, we are committed to helping our patients stay informed, vigilant, and proactive about their oral health.

Why Early Detection Matters

Oral cancer often develops without pain in its early stages, making regular dental visits crucial. During routine check-ups, our experienced team carefully examines your mouth for any unusual changes or signs of concern. Detecting problems early can make treatment simpler, more effective, and less invasive—helping you protect your smile and overall health.

Risk Factors to Know

Certain lifestyle factors increase the risk of oral cancer, including tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged sun exposure to the lips, and persistent irritation in the mouth. Awareness of these risks, combined with professional dental examinations, ensures that any suspicious changes are investigated promptly.
