Vienna Dentist Emphasizes the Importance of Oral Cancer Screenings

By offering oral cancer screenings, Dr. Ardalan Sanati, McLean dentist, hopes to catch oral cancer early when treatment is best.

2012-06-22

VIENNA, VA, June 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Oral cancer screening is a routine part of a dental examination, and Dr. Ardalan Sanati, Vienna dentist, places further importance on this test. Oral cancer appears as a growth or sore in the mouth that does not go away, and includes cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the hard, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and throat, which can all be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early.

By providing oral cancer screenings, Dr. Sanati, McLean dentist, hopes to catch oral cancer early in its tracks before a person has any symptoms. Detecting oral cancer before it begins can help treat it more easily because by the time symptoms appear cancer may have already begun to spread.

"It is important to remember that you do not necessarily have oral cancer if we suggest a screening test. Screenings are given when you have no cancer symptoms, and help us to take charge of the health of your mouth. At each appointment these screenings help me to find any problem areas in your mouth so that I can treat symptoms before they worsen," said Dr. Sanati, cosmetic dentist in McLean.

During the oral cancer screening, Dr. Ardalan Sanati, McLean cosmetic dentist, will look over the inside of a patient's mouth to check for red or white patches or mouth sores. Using gloved hands, Dr. Sanati will also feel the tissues in a patient's mouth to check for lumps or other abnormalities.

Many people have abnormal sores in their mouths, with majority being noncancerous. AN oral exam can't determine which sores are cancerous and which are not, but if a sore is found the best way to definitively determine whether it is oral cancer or not is to remove some abnormal cells and test them for cancer in a procedure called a biopsy.

Not all medical associations agree about the benefits of an oral exam for oral cancer screenings. Dr. Ardalan Sanati, Vienna implant dentist, believes that every patient should receive proper oral cancer screenings with each of their appointments to assure there are no signs of anything serious.

Preventing or better managing diabetes may prevent cognitive decline, according to UCSF study

2012-06-22

Preventing diabetes or delaying its onset has been thought to stave off cognitive decline -- a connection strongly supported by the results of a 9-year study led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Earlier studies have looked at cognitive decline in people who already had diabetes. The new study is the first to demonstrate that the greater risk of cognitive decline is also present among people who develop diabetes later in life. It is also the first study to link the risk of cognitive decline to ...

Remote Siberian lake holds clues to Arctic -- and Antarctic -- climate change

2012-06-22

Intense warm climate intervals--warmer than scientists thought possible--have occurred in the Arctic over the past 2.8 million years. That result comes from the first analyses of the longest sediment cores ever retrieved on land. They were obtained from beneath remote, ice-covered Lake El'gygytgyn (pronounced El'gee-git-gin) ("Lake E") in the northeastern Russian Arctic. The journal Science published the findings this week. They show that the extreme warm periods in the Arctic correspond closely with times when parts of Antarctica were also ice-free and warm, suggesting ...

New evidence in fructose debate: Could it be healthy for us?

2012-06-22

TORONTO, Ont. June 21, 2012—A new study by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital suggests that fructose may not be as bad for us as previously thought and that it may even provide some benefit. "Over the last decade, there have been connections made between fructose intake and rates of obesity," said Dr. John Sievenpiper, a senior author of the study. "However, this research suggests that the problem is likely one of overconsumption, not fructose." The study reviewed 18 trials with 209 participants who had Type 1 and 2 diabetes and found fructose significantly improved ...

Accidental Drowning of the Elderly

2012-06-22

Simply because someone lives in an assisted living facility does not mean they give up on some form of exercise.

Unfortunately, there are reports of accidental drowning cases at these assisted living facilities that should not have happened. While there are many activities elderly people can do on their own, supervision should always be on the safe side at assisted living facilities. ...
