Oral cancer and you, from Abba Dental

In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients, Drs. Keith Lim and Baha Azizi provide oral cancer screening services to the Vancouver community, in addition to head and neck screens. The fact is, every hour of every day, 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. When discovered early, oral cancers have a 80-90% survival rate. Ask the doctors or our staff at Abba Dental about a thorough oral cancer screening at your next appointment!
