Forward Science Partners with Healing Hands In-Home Dental Hygiene to Give Free Screenings

CYPRESS, Calif. - Oct. 9, 2017 - PRLog -- Oral cancer kills one American every hour, which is why screenings and preventative dentistry are a must for everyone, regardless of traditional risk factors. Recently in Cypress, California, Healing Hands At-Home Dental Hygiene attended the Cypress Community Resource Fair, where they offered free oral cancer screenings to the public using the OralID device. The fair brought together between 250 to 300 people at the Cypress Senior Center and Lasted from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. It was an event geared toward senior citizens, which offered information for people to learn about different health and medical groups.

Healing Hands is the practice of registered dental hygienist Marie Ekins, who was responsible for the oral cancer screenings. Of all of the patients screened with the OralID, they were happy that they didn't find abnormalities in any of the patients. "It's so important to remember that everyone needs to be checked," said Marie. "Half of the people screened had dentures instead of teeth, so it wasn't the typical dental check-up, and it was really great! Thankfully we didn't find anything." Marie also thought that the OralID was very efficient. "I was very comfortable using the device. It's perfect for the portability aspect, and I love the fact that it's small and simple. Healing Hands uses it all the time for every patient."

Healing Hands at-home Dental Hygiene never charges for OralID screenings. They also feature the device on their website so people can stay informed on the importance of oral health and getting screened.
