Although it is often an afterthought after you’re done brushing and flossing your teeth, your oral health has a profound effect on your overall well being. When circumstances occur that a person requires tooth replacement options, it’s important that the right tooth replacement options are offered that addresses their budget, needs, and unique preferences.
In America alone, almost 50,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer each year. Of those people, only a little more than half will be alive five years from now. Because of its far-reaching impact on many families worldwide, April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month.
During this month, oral health professionals and those affected by oral cancer of all types work hard to spread awareness and educate people on the disease, what it looks like, and the preventative steps people can take to protect themselves and their loved ones.
