Early Detection of Oral and Pharyngeal Cancer Can Improve Your Chances of Treatment Success

June 29, 2017/in Uncategorized /by Dr. Malcolm Boykin DDS

Oral health problems can cause discomfort, pain, and other serious complications. Of course, this is not limited to problems with cavities and gum disease. Oral and pharyngeal cancer can also pose a serious threat to your oral health and function.

The American Dental Association recommends having a dentist perform a routine dental exam and cleaning twice each year. This will clean away all traces of plaque and tartar while also monitoring your mouth for overt signs of a problem.

If Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS finds any signs of gum disease or tooth decay he will present you with the appropriate treatment option. At the end of the dental exam, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS will administer a basic screening for signs of oral and pharyngeal cancer.

Be sure to tell Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS know about any potential oral cancer or pharyngeal cancer symptoms you have noticed. Early detection can significantly increase your chances of treatment success.

This might include a persistent pain in your mouth, swelling, or a lump in your cheek. Pharyngeal cancer symptoms could also include a persistent sore throat, or a feeling like something is stuck in the back of your mouth.

If you live in the Ramona, CA, area and you have been experiencing symptoms of oral or pharyngeal cancer, you should call [phone] to schedule a checkup and cancer screening at [practice_name].

Go Above and Beyond for Your Smile by Doing These Things

June 7, 2017/in Uncategorized /by Dr. Malcolm Boykin DDS

It’s vital for your oral health to keep up on oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly. If you do these things, you’re on the right track toward a healthy smile. But do you ever wish you could go above and beyond for your chompers? If so, Dr. Malcolm J Boykin DDS and our dental team are thrilled to hear that! We have some tips for you that can help you go the extra mile for your smile.

Tip No. 1: Brush your teeth throughout the day, whether you’re at the office, school, or even just at home. If you brush after each meal and snack, your teeth and gums will remain clean and pristine. This can also help you avoid having an embarrassing food-filled smile!

Tip No. 2: Wear a mouthguard while you are active. It’s important to protect your smile while you participate in high-contact sports and activities because a hard ball, elbow, knee, or other object can hit your mouth and cause severe injury. If you wear a mouthguard, there is a chance your teeth and gums can remain healthy and strong.

Tip No. 3: Include rinsing in your oral hygiene routine. We recommend brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and rinsing your mouth daily. As you rinse, follow the instructions on the bottle and use a product that has been approved by the American Dental Association.

Do you have questions about how to go above and beyond for your smile in Ramona, CA? If so, please reach out to our dental team at our office. All you need to do is dial [phone] and we will be excited to help you, even if it’s just by answering your questions!
