April 
is 
Oral 
Health
 Month 
and
 to celebrate 
we
 are 
hosting 
a 
Free VELscope
 Oral 
Cancer 
Screening day
 on 
April 
26, 
2012.

Did 
you 
know?

  • Oral
 Cancer
 is 
the
 13th most common
 cancer
 reported in Canada?
  • Men
 are 
more
 susceptible to 
Oral 
Cancer
 than women?
  • A 
screening
 for 
Oral Cancer 
only 
takes
 2
– 3
 minutes?

 

Are
 you
 at 
risk?

Male 
smokers
 over
 the
 age 
of 
40
 are 
the
 most 
susceptible 
to 
Oral 
Cancer
 but everyone’s 
at 
risk
 – something
 as
 simple
 as getting too
 much
 sun, 
smoking
 or drinking
 alcohol
 may
 increase
 your
 chances
 of
 suffering 
from
 Oral 
Cancer.

What
 Can
 You 
Do?

With 
Oral 
Cancer,
 prevention
 and
 early
 detection
 is 
key. 
Practice
 correct
 oral
 health care 
by
 brushing
 twice
 daily
 and
 flossing every
 day
 and
 come 
in 
for
 your 
FREE VELscope 
oral 
cancer 
screening
 at 
your
 nearest 
123Dentist.com
