EARLY DETECTION OF ORAL
CANCER
In order to detect
oral cancer at an early, curable stage, Dr. Fields routinely examines your
lips, mouth and tongue for any abnormal spots or sores. The problem is harmful
spots and sores look identical to the ones that are harmless. Only a
specialized test can tell them apart.
The GOOD NEWS is, Dr.
Fields uses a simple test, called the BRUSH TEST, as powerful as a Pap Smear or
a Colonoscopy, on white or red spots and sends samples from this procedure for
analysis.
This will determine whether you have unhealthy cells that should be removed before they become cancerous.
Don’t forget to
ask Dr. Fields for the BRUSH TEST besides his normal visual exam if you are
concerned about any new spot in your mouth that has not gone away. He will
examine it, and to set your mind at ease, use the BRUSH TEST and send it to the
lab to relieve any fears that you might have regarding your oral health, the
test is part of the American Dental Association’s campaign in educating
the public regarding oral cancer screening, the importance of seeing your
dentist regularly, and most importantly, it will help save
lives!!!!
