Cancer

When we are young we think that we are invincible and immortal, that nothing bad can happen to us. We have youth and health on our side and we can do anything we dream of. We never think there is a time when all this is gone, when you have to pay the ultimate price for being so daring. Unfortunately sometimes bad things happen to young people , too. Cancer, for example, does not care if you are young or old, if you are black or white , a good person or a real villain. Cancer strikes and you are taken by surprise every time. I had a cousin that had two kids and worked her heart off to provide them with everything for a good life.

But when she was only 36 she was diagnosed with oral cancer. The problem is that she had some problems with her teeth that turned into a serious infection, but she just ignored all the signs, thinking that her body is strong and will be able to fight the disease. But, I don't know how, this infection generated the proper environment for an oral cancer and when she finally went to the dentist, she was diagnosed with metastatic cancer.



She lived six more months and she died and that was a bitter lesson all the family members had to learn: it is better to make everything you can tom prevent a disease than to try to fight it when you have it. I know there are certain types of cancer that can't be prevented, but this one fortunately can be detected if you have regular check-ups. Nowadays most dental clinics have very advanced equipment , usually called Velscope or Visilite or any other name that allows the dentist to notice any change in the tissue in the oral cavity, that is any abnormal cell formation that can be a sign of oral cancer.

Normally this formation cannot be detected without this device, just using the normal examination because it is not visible for the human eye. So this way the cancer can be caught in the early stage and treated appropriately, having a better chance of getting cured.



Specialists recommend a visit to such a dental clinic in your area at least once a year in order to eliinate any oral cancer suspicions.But to do do you must check first if there are any such centers in the area where you live. For example you might want to know what are Lafayette oral cancer screening centers in order to make an appointment.
