Toronto Oral Cancer Screening Program

What an amazing week of weather so far, I must say the humidity is a little much and something I can do without but summer is here for Toronto! I hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did, my family went down to the Crystal Beach on Lake Erie and did some swimming in the lake! Myself and my wife were not as adventurous as the kids, they will in fully and swimming!!! The water believe it or not was bearable, not freezing but definitely not warm, definitely refreshing.

This Saturday marks our first Toronto Oral Cancer Screening Program which is sponsored by Zila. The test itself is quick and painless. It starts with a manual examination of the oral cavity as well as the head and neck, followed by a raspberry flavoured rinse for 1 minute. After the rinse is complete we use a special fluorescence light to check all the tissue in your mouth for possible tissue changes.

With new information coming out everyday about products in our environment that have the potential to cause precancerous changes, it is more important than ever to provide oral cancer screenings at a minimal of once per year.

Have a great Wednesday!
