If oral cancer detection occurs in the early stages, the survival rate is 80-90%.<\/b><\/p>\n Unfortunately, the detection of most oral cancers happen in the late stages, so the death rate is high at 45% within five years of diagnosis. Consistent annual appointments are crucial to spotting the signs early.<\/p><\/div><\/div> Many factors increase your oral cancer risks:<\/strong><\/p><\/div> The dentists at OakTree Dental can diagnose oral cancer with an annual oral cancer exam and treat it when caught in the earliest stages.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Llame a<\/p><\/span> EN L\u00cdNEA<\/p><\/span> Se Habla Espa\u00f1ol<\/p>\n 14595 Philips Hwy, Jacksonville, FL 32256<\/a><\/p> Open Monday to Thursday 8:00AM - 4:30PM<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> An oral cancer examination is a completely painless process. <\/p>\n Our Jacksonville dentists perform<\/b> \n a visual exam looking for abnormalities and feel the face, neck, and glands for unusual bumps during routine cleaning and check-up. They may also use a laser to examine below the surface for lesions or signs of the disease.<\/p><\/div><\/div> Red Patches and Sores<\/p>\n We look for red, white, or pink patches on the floor of the mouth or the front or sides of the tongue that fail to heal. We also look for sores that bleed easily. These symptoms can be indicative of cancerous (pathologic) changes.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Leukoplakia<\/p>\n These lesions appear as raised, white or gray areas inside the mouth. We treat these lesions as they may be cancerous or become cancerous.<\/p><\/div><\/div> Lumps<\/p>\n Another sign we look for is the general thickening of tissue, soreness, or lumps in the throat or mouth.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral Cancer:<\/b> If any of these signs are present, the dentists at OakTree Dental create a treatment plan. We may decide to perform a biopsy of the area. A biopsy requires the extraction of affected tissue which a lab tests and diagnoses. We either cut a small sample from the area or remove the entire abnormality.<\/p><\/div><\/div> Most people receive a clean bill of health<\/b> with negative results. However, if the result is positive, take comfort in knowing that your healthcare is in excellent hands.
