Don’t Miss Your Screening | Kirk Poldek DDS

July 2024

Oral cancer doesn’t discriminate—it can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or race. While smokers are at a higher risk, non-smokers are not exempt. At Poldek Family Dental, under the care of Kirk Poldek DDS, we emphasize the importance of regular oral health examinations.

Visiting your general dentist at least twice a year greatly increases the chances of detecting potentially cancerous lesions early. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Our dental team is trained to identify irregularities during these routine exams.

If your general dentist spots any suspicious lesions, they may refer you to Poldek Family Dental for further evaluation and treatment. Our experienced team will recommend the necessary steps, which may include a biopsy to confirm whether the lesion is cancerous.

Remember, it’s essential not to jump to conclusions without proper diagnosis. If it’s been more than six months since your last dental appointment or if you notice any unusual patches, bumps, or irregular skin that doesn’t heal, consider an oral cancer screening.

Don’t skip your dental visits—they are your first line of defense against oral cancers. Trust Kirk Poldek DDS and the team at Poldek Family Dental to provide you with the care and guidance you need to maintain optimal oral health. Your life could depend on it. Schedule your appointment today.
