Show I December 6, Have you been checked for oral cancer? by Capt. Roger A. Vazquez, preventive dentistry officer, Fort Monmouth Dental Clinic The first extensive study of the causes of death in the United States was published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census for the year 1900. At that time the leading causes of death were along with detecting fractured fillings, decay, beginning gum infections and any cysts or growths. YOU MIGHT have detected this exam because your dentist asks you to put the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth, the right side and then the left. Here he is examining the bottom of your mouth (floor of your mouth) and the sides Tuberculosis and Pneumonia. Heart disease and cancer were fourth and eighth respectively. NOW, the- two leading causes of death in the U.S. are heart disease and cancer. When cancer of the oral cavity is discovered at an early stage, it is highly curable. As the cancer enlarges to . invade surrounding struc- tures, and particularly when it spreads to the lymph nodes in the neck the chance of cure becomes more remote. Unfortunately, far too many oral cancers are discovered in this late stage. The majority of oral cancers cause no symptoms in their early stages. PERSON oral cancer usually does not complain until a lump in the neck appears indicating that the spread of the cancer has already occurred. Your dentist has the opportunity to detect oral cancer at an early and curable stage when he carries out a routine dental examination. If you have been to your dentist regularly, I'm sure that you have had this exam and might not have known it. This is one of the basic procedures every dentist does during a six month check-u- p A with Movies Friday, Dec. " Saturday Late Show - The Burglars (PG) - Omar Sharif, Belmondo Sunday, Monday, Dec.
