CDHO Seven-Step Oral Cancer Self-Exam (5 mins)
Oral cancer is a growing concern, particularly if you’re over 40 and male. It’s estimated that this year, 4,400 Canadians will be diagnosed with oral cancer, and 1,200 will die from it. Oral cancer generally responds well to cancer treatment if detected early. In between visits to your oral health professional, self-exam is the key! To learn to do an oral cancer self-exam, ask your dental hygienist.
