One person dies every hour from oral cancer in the United States. Late detection of oral cancer is the primary reason
that mortality rates are so dismal. As with most other cancers, age is the primary risk factor for oral cancer. Though tobacco use is a major predisposing risk factor, 25% of oral cancer victims have no lifestyle risk factors.

Testimonials
I have never had a dentist perform such an in-depth exam as this and then Dr. Ahn spent more time explaining things to me and going into great detail showing me what is going on with my teeth. The whole staff is very friendly and made the experience an enjoyable visit.
