Why? It is because this type of cancer is quite rare. In fact,\naccording to the American Cancer Society, it only makes up less than 1% of the\ncancer cases in the United States. But just because it is rare does not mean it\nwill not develop. Fortunately, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amherstdental.com\/oral-cancer-screenings.html\">dentist in\nWilliamsville<\/a> can help detect salivary gland cancer early, which is just\nanother reason to not miss out on your routine checkups! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Salivary Gland Cancer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were asked, \u201cWhat does your saliva do,\u201d you would probably\nsay that it keeps your mouth from getting dry. While your answer is correct,\nyour saliva also works to flush out any bacteria or food particles that might\nbe left behind after brushing or flossing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be surprised to know there are two types of\nsalivary glands: major and minor. There are also three types of major salivary\nglands and hundreds of minor glands, each with its own unique function. Should\ncancer develop, it will begin in only one of the salivary glands. It is\nimportant to know that while many benign tumors can develop, these are\nnoncancerous and will not spread to other areas of your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the cancers you should be aware of, these three are the\nmost common forms of salivary gland cancer in Williamsville:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma<\/li><li>Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma<\/li><li>Adenocarcinomas<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Early Detection so Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to detecting salivary gland cancer, some\ndoctors believe it is unnecessary unless symptoms are present. The good news is\nthat your salivary glands are in an easy-to-see spot, so your dentist can look\nfor any signs or symptoms during a routine dental exam. Some of these symptoms\ninclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A lump or swelling in your mouth<\/li><li>Pain in your mouth, cheek, jaw, ear or neck<\/li><li>Trouble opening your mouth<\/li><li>A difference in the size or shape on either side\nof your face or neck<\/li><li>A weakness of the muscles on either side of your\nface<\/li><li>Difficulty swallowing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By keeping your regularly scheduled dental appointments, you\nand your dentist can detect any problems early on, increasing your chances for\nsuccessfully treating and curing the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Factors Will Be Considered During Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you or your\ndentist discover that you do, indeed, have salivary gland cancer, trust that\nyour dentist and cancer team will be right beside you, helping you through\ntreatment every step of the way. While the primary goal is to cure the cancer,\nyour team will be mindful of preserving your nerve, organ, and tissue\nfunctionality as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A team of doctors\nwill consider a wide array of factors when treating cancer, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The type\nof salivary gland cancer<\/li><li>What the\ncancer looks like under a microscope and how quickly it will spread (the grade)<\/li><li>How the\ncancer has progressed (the stage)<\/li><li>Overall\nhealth<\/li><li>Chances\nof successfully curing the cancer<\/li><li>How the treatment\nwill impact speech, chewing, eating, and swallowing abilities<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the cancer is\neliminated, follow-up appointments will be necessary to ensure proper recovery.\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist and\ndental team are your allies when it comes to the early detection of any form of\noral-related cancer.
