As part of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Magnolia Dental has partnered with The Oral Cancer Foundation to provide free oral cancer screenings throughout April by appointment .

Oral cancer is not a rare disease. Approximately 43,250 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer every year in the US. It kills one person every hour of every day, and over 115 new individuals will be diagnosed with it each day. The good news is that it can often be found early in its development, through a simple, painless, and quick screening.

Magnolia patients receive oral cancer screenings as part of their routine biyearly checkups. If you or a loved one haven’t been to the dentist or received an oral cancer screening in the last year, please call 740-775-8050 to make an appointment for a free screening.
