Each year, approximately 53,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer and over 9,000 people will die of the disease. Because many of its symptoms are similar to those of other medical problems, it is important to make an appointment with dentist for an oral cancer screening in Helena, Montana. Dr. Erekson will make a screening a part of your regular visit at Mountain Gate Dental, but if you notice anything out of the ordinary with your smile, call 406-442-5930.
