Oral Cancer Risk Factors There are several risk factors that increase a person’s chances of developing oral cancer. Some of them are out of our control, such as age and sex. Men are twice as likely as women to develop oral cancer, and it is far more common in people over 45. But there are plenty of risk factors that we can control, the biggest of which is tobacco. A whopping 85 percent of oral cancer cases are linked to some kind of tobacco use (even e-cigarettes). The next biggest avoidable risk factor is frequent, heavy alcohol consumption. A few of the less-obvious risk factors include getting too much sun (which can cause lip cancer), HPV, and neglecting your oral hygiene, particularly if you also smoke. You can eliminate this risk factor by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental appointments! Symptoms To Watch Out For Unfortunately, even people with none of these risk factors will sometimes develop oral cancer anyway, which is why it’s important to be able to recognize the symptoms, which include:
Where Does The Dentist Fit In? Another way oral cancer is caught early is at regular dental exams! In addition to checking your teeth for cavities and your gums for signs of gum disease, we can spot many of those early symptoms of oral cancer while we’re looking at your mouth, which is just one more reason why it’s so important to keep scheduling your dental appointments! Even if you don’t have oral cancer or any of the risk factors, you can still help the people who are fighting this disease. Ask us how you can get involved! We look forward to seeing you soon!

few week ago I felt some pains and I went to the hospital my doc told me I had Herpes about 1 yr and I need to start the treatment early, he gave me some medicine to be taking and I told him no I’ll not, because I hated taking medicine when I won’t not see cure for the purpose. After I got home I started getting worried searching for strong advice and I found valid natural treatment online lot people says they got herpes cure from Dr APAMA and I contacted Dr APAMA 3 days passed, I purchase his cure online some weeks after the process taking his treatment i got cured. I went for checkup twice after taking the natural treatment from the herbalist called Dr APAMA and i tested negative. contact him on email: [apamaherbalsolution261@gmail.com] or message him on WhatsApp +27656159025 God bless you

I'm Williams Mark, i was diagnosed of COPD and hepatitis b in 2009, I was told by my doctor that there's no possible cure for COPD and Hepatitis b.so i started taking antiviral medications lamivudine(Epivir) ..until one day I saw a forum , Dr Riaria website and email was posted so many people talking about his good work .., also I saw a lot of testimonials about him on how he uses herbal medicine to cure deadly diseases . I contacted him and told him my problems, He sent me herbal medicine and I took it for 3weeks after that I went for a check-up and I was totally cured. The medicine has NO SIDE EFFECT, there's no special diet when taking the medicine.
