Follow on Google News | Tooth Decay Higher In Some States Than OthersPeople needing preventative dental care are falling short in some states. Arkansas and Oklahoma are both states with high rates of dental decay are prevalent.
By: Micah Carter Root canals, crowns and extractions top the list of major dental procedures that people postpone in order to pay for other necessities such as food, prescriptions and medical care. It’s also been noted that there is a link between oral health and oral cancer. Most early signs of oral cancer are void of pain and therefore, they can go unnoticed for quite some time. Without a thorough examination by a professional, including the oral, head and neck area, people are playing guessing games with their health. Oral cancer can harbor itself in the tongue, salivary glands, lymph nodes, cheek or throat. These are all areas that need to be examined by a dentist regularly when age reaches a certain threshold or when oral health appears to be in jeopardy. Annually, over 30,000 cases of oral cancer are diagnosed with over 8,000 cases ending in death. Usually, symptoms occur in regular users of tobacco products. Chewing or smoking tobacco is clearly the culprit in many cases as is alcohol and foods with high toxicity. Foods that are processed can have devastating effects on the body and it all begins at the mouth. Other factors that may put you at risk include viral infection, immunodeficiency, lack of nutrition and occupational exposure.
