I think it is fantastic that they are doing this. Oral cancer is obviously something serious and it is not something that most offices have the ability to screen for.
Therefore, an office that is offering free screenings - even if it is only for April 2013 is news worthy.
I'm delighted to hear of their work.
Of the many things that gum disease appears, according to researchers, to be related to, increased risk for oral cancer is one of them.
It's quite amazing when you consider the volume of research that shows a connection between gum disease and all kinds of other disease, isn't it? It appears that a long term, chronic bacterial infection in the mouth (gum disease) leads to all kinds of more significant health problems.
The bacteria: p gingivalis has even been found in heart arterial plaque! Wow.
Prevention is important. And many dentists and hygienists are able to educate patients and help give them helpful tips, like using the HydroFloss at home, to help improve their periodontal health. And for many people it is working!
Congrats to Doctors Tills and Kutz for offering free screening for oral cancer during the month of April 2013!

And don't forget about prevention as well. Many expensive dental procedures could be avoided in the first place, if patient's were more educated about prevention. My favorite.
