A colleague of mine, Dr. Louis Malcmacher, invited Ultradent to support a very important cause. I’ve listed a few of the alarming stats he shared on the incidence of oral cancer:
- Oral cancer kills one American every hour of every day. The mortality rate has remained the same for 40 years!
- Two-thirds of oral cancer cases are detected in late stages where the survival rate is only 22%.
- The death rate for oral cancer is higher than that of cervical cancer, leukemia, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, to name a few.
