We hope everyone is off to a great week! In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients at Henagan Team Dentistry, Dr. Donald Henagan and our team screen our patients for oral cancer. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.
Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. Ask Dr. Henagan or one of our team members at Henagan Team Dentistry at about a screening at your next appointment at our convenient New Iberia dental office!
