Chicago Oral Cancer Screening Specialist
Dr. Jerome Usheroff

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 30,000 patients are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. More than 7,000 of these cases result in death, mostly because the cancer was discovered at an advanced stage. Oral cancer usually can be treated very successfully if diagnosed early. This is why the experienced Chicago cosmetic dentist Dr. Usheroff believes that oral cancer screening should be part of regular dental exams.

Dr. Usheroff performs oral cancer examination during each routine dental visit. He carefully examines the mouth for any abnormal changes in the gums, tongue and other dental structures. He also takes into account each patient's medical history when performing oral cancer screening. This comprehensive approach allows Dr. Usheroff to detect oral cancer in its earliest stages, when it is more easily treated and cured.
