OralID/Oral Cancer Screening

We Are Now Offering Enhanced Oral Cancer Screenings!

Dr. Dang takes a stand against oral cancer using OralID™ Fluorescence Technology

Beechnut Dental Care joined forces with Forward Science, the manufacturer of OralID™, and became a provider of the ID For Life™ Program to promote early detection and public awareness of oral cancer in the office. Dr. Dang will be offering enhanced oral cancer screenings during scheduled appointments to new and current patients.

Oral Cancer is not a rare disease and unfortunately it is on the rise. This year, approximately 58,450 will be diagnosed with oral cancer in the United States alone. Due to late stage discovery, one American dies every hour from oral cancer.

Dr Dang uses an oral cancer screening device, OralID, in efforts to discover oral cancers in their earliest stages. Currently, 70% of oral cancers are found in late stages (stage III, IV), resulting in a 5-year survival rate around 60%. Finding these abnormalities in much earlier stages can increase the 5-year survival rate up to 80-90%.
