Oral cancer can be readily detected in its early
stages. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons recommend that everyone do a monthly oral cancer
self-exam especially those at increased risk such as cigarette and cigar smokers. To read
information on how to conduct a self-exam and what signs to look for, please click on the
words "Lip and Mouth Cancer." Every time a person
chews, smiles, yawns or talks, the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is at work. The TMJ
connects the lower jaw to the skull and allows the lower jaw to move and function. When it
is not functioning properly, a variety of symptoms may surface, such as headaches, ringing
in the ears, clicking or grating sounds in the joint, or pain when opening or closing the
mouth. For more information on how your oral and maxillofacial surgeon diagnoses and
treats these problems through non-surgical and surgical means, please click on the words
"TMJ Disorders." |
