Oral cancer screen: There are definite risk factors associated with oral cancer. Have your dentist do a screen to evaluate for oral cancer on an annual basis, many insurances are now covering this procedure in addition. If a suspicious area is evident, you will be promptly referred to your ENT or primary care MD for further evaluation.
