While cancers of the mouth, head, and neck may not get the same media attention as other forms of cancer, they actually take more lives every year than many of them.  According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, nearly 9,000 people die from oral cancers every year – that’s one for every hour of every day – and that approximately 53,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with some form of oral cancer annually.  Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, ZDental would like to tell you more about oral cancers, their risk factors, and how to prevent them.
