Myth: You don’t need to worry about oral cancer if you don’t smoke. Fact: While smoking increases your risk, oral cancer can affect anyone. Regular screenings are vital for early detection.

Contrary to popular belief, oral cancer is not exclusive to smokers; it can affect anyone, regardless of their smoking habits. While smoking undeniably elevates the risk, other factors such as alcohol consumption, HPV infection, and genetic predispositions also contribute to the development of oral cancer. Therefore, regular screenings are crucial for early detection and effective treatment. Ignoring these screenings can lead to late-stage diagnoses, which are more difficult to treat and have lower survival rates. Hence, everyone should prioritize regular dental check-ups to ensure early identification and management of potential oral health issues.
