812-853-3313Cancer is constantly on the rise with all Americans. Early detection of cancer is key in the fight against cancer. Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, and Fickas want to convey the importance of dental examinations for oral cancer.  Visiting Family Dentistry every 6 months or sooner if any dental issues arise is vital in proper hygiene as well as detection of any oral cancer. The dental examination will include detection of any of these symptons. 1. A sore, irritation, lump, or thick patch in the mouth, lip, or throat 2. A white or red patch in the mouth 3. A feeling of something caught in the throat 4. Difficulty chewing or swallowing 5. Difficulty moving the jaw or tongue 6. Numbness in the tongue or other areas of the mouth 7. Swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to fit poorly or become uncomfortable 8. Pain in one ear without hearing loss.  Many believe that visiting the dentist is only concerning the teeth which is not true. Visiting the dentist is so important for not only your teeth but for your overall health. Please help you and your family to fight oral cancer by visiting Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, and Fickas regularly.
