Important update on road construction inside!
Routine, careful examination of patients for oral and pharyngeal cancer, in addition to an updated health history, can easily be achieved during a regular dental visit. The stage at which an oral or pharyngeal cancer is diagnosed is critical to the course of the disease. When detected at its earliest stage, these cancers are more easily treated.
Facts About Oral Cancer
Incidence and Mortality
Oral and pharyngeal cancer strikes an estimated 39,000 Americans each year. An estimated 8,000 people die of these cancers annually.
The disease occurs more than twice as often in men as in women.
An estimated 1 in 92 adults will be diagnosed with oral or pharyngeal cancer in their lifetime.
The median age at diagnosis is 62 years.
Risk Factors
Tobacco use
Alcohol consumption
Heavy use of tobacco and alcohol together greatly increases your risk of developing cancer
Age: the risk greatly increases after 44 years
Gender: men are twice as likely to develop oral and pharyngeal cancer
Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is a particular risk factor for lip cancer
Nutrition: a diet rich in vegetables and fruits is associated with a lower incidence of oral and pharyngeal cancer
Signs and Symptoms
Leukoplakia, which are thick, whitish-color patches that form on the inside of the cheeks, gums or tongue, these patches are caused by excess cell growth and are common among tobacco users. They can result from irritations such as an ill-fitting denture or the habit of chewing on the inside of the cheek.
Patients may complain of: difficulty chewing or swallowing, or moving the jaw or tongue; a sore throat or feeling that something is caught in the throat; numbness; hoarseness or a change in the voice.
Signs and symptoms that persist for two weeks or more merit further investigation, such as a biopsy or referral to a specialist.

Appleton Road Construction
As you may be aware, Hwy 441 is under major construction.
Appleton Road will be closed between Valley Road and Midway Road as early as April 6th. Therefore, the
Appleton Road/ Hwy 47 Exit off of Hwy 441 will be closed at this time also. This portion of Appleton Road will
remain closed for a few months.
During this construction, if your current route has you exit off of Appleton Road, you will need to either use the
Midway Road exit or the Oneida Street Exit to get to Valley Road.
You may need to allow extra time to get to your appointments during this time. If you have any questions
on how to get to Forest View Dental, please call us at 733-1111. Maps and other information are available at
www.us41wisconsin.gov/wis441
Rest assured, Forest View Dental will remain open the entire time!
Thank you for your patience!

How does Invisalign®
work? Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth,
using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth.
Please check out our website, www.ForestViewDental.com, for more information. Click on the Our Services section and then on Invisalign®. Or just ask your Forest View Dentist if Invisalign® is right for you!
