Description
Dental procedure awareness includes understanding preventive care like brushing twice daily and flossing, being mindful of diet, and getting regular dental check-ups to catch problems early. It also means knowing about common procedures like fillings, crowns, and extractions, and recognizing that many dental issues have no immediate pain. Regular dental visits are crucial for early detection of issues, including mouth cancer, which can have a major impact on survival rates.
Objectives
Importance of early detection
Oral cancer: Dentists can screen for oral cancer during regular exams. Early detection of mouth cancer can lead to a 90% survival rate, while delayed diagnosis can drop the rate to 50%.
Other health links: Dental exams can also help identify other medical issues, such as diabetes.
