I complain bitterly when I have to go to the dentist because of the cost. Well, Keith went with today so that we could go to lunch afterward.
We both had a laser test that looks for oral cancer. The dentist says that they've seen an up tic in mouth cancer even among those who do NOT smoke.
Oral cancer develops and grows quickly. By the time your dentist or hygenist discovers it viusally, it's already too late. With this new test, cancer is found much more quickly.
The test is painless, takes about ten minutes and costs $56 (here in CA). If your dental office does not offer this exam, find one that does. It's well worth your time, your health and peace of mind.
