ORAL CANCER Catch Oral Cancer Early at Watkin Dental Associates Early Detection Is Crucial for Beating Oral Cancer Oral cancer is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent forms of cancer today, but it doesn’t receive much attention compared to breast and lung cancer. Many cases go undetected until they’re more advanced because it’s not a risk on the public’s mind. We at Watkin Dental Associates want to stop oral cancer in its tracks by diagnosing it early, and that’s where oral cancer screenings come in. What Does an Oral Cancer Screening Entail?
