Oral Cancer Screening: A Small Step That Could Save Your Life

Oral cancer can affect anyone—but early detection makes all the difference. Each year, over 7,000 Canadians are diagnosed with head and neck cancers, and sadly, more than 2,100 lives are lost to these diseases.

  • 5,400 men are diagnosed annually, with 1,500 deaths
  • 2,000 women are diagnosed annually, with 560 deaths

Despite these numbers, oral cancer is highly treatable when caught early. That’s why at Simply Wellness Dental, Dr. Vik Sharma and our team perform thorough oral cancer screenings during your routine visits.

We look for subtle signs you may not notice yourself—like unusual sores, lumps, or persistent irritation. The screening is quick, painless, and could be life-saving.

Don’t wait for symptoms.
