PRLog -- Thomas R Blake DDS joined forces with Forward Science Technologies LLC, the manufacturer of OralID™, to promote early detection and public awareness of oral cancer. In recognition of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, blakeaesthetics will be offering Free Oral Cancer Screenings for the month of April! Oral Cancer is not a rare disease and unfortunately it is on the rise. This year, approximately 45,780 will be diagnosed with oral cancer in the United States alone. Due to late stage discovery, one American dies every hour from oral cancer. Dr Blake uses an oral cancer screening device, OralID, in efforts to discover oral cancer in its earliest stages. Currently, 63% of oral cancer is found in late stages (stage III, IV), resulting in a 5-year survival rate of less than 50%. OralID™ has the ability to “highlight”
these irregularities in much earlier stages, before it is visible to your dental professional, in turn increasing the 5-year survival rate up to 80-90%. Dr Blake has recognized the benefit of the Fluorescence Technology that OralID™ provides in efforts to discover oral cancer in its early stages and potentially save lives. Those interested in receiving a free oral cancer screening at blakeaesthetics, or to learn more about our advanced screening, contact our office at 260-747-5745 or www.drblakedentistry.com.
