April Awareness: The Dental Connection!

Visiting Thomas Family Dentistry regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy!  The fact is, every hour of every day in the United Stated, someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease.  The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Early detection is the key! Our office completes an oral cancer examination at each hygiene appointment.  Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, it's time to take this opportunity to remind all of our patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.

Dentists are specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems.  Please let us know if you have any questions about your oral health during your next appointment.  If you need to make an appointment, call our office at 918-455-0123. Take care of your teeth!

God Bless,
DRT
