April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month



Oral Cancer is on the rise in young adults who don't smoke and don't drink heavily. The main cause of oral cancer in young adults is due to HPV , " The Human Papilloma Virus ''. This is the same virus that is one of the main causes of cervical cancer in young women. This month at SDC we are offering oral cancer screenings with our velscope light for all our patients and to the public . The velscope can detect suspicious lesions before we can see them with our naked eye. Oral Cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early , but one of the most disfiguring if not. For the month of April the cost of this test will be only $25, a small price for your future health. So give us a call at 770-614-7300 to schedule your sreening.
