Aaron Farrokh, DMD, is a Newington, Connecticut dental practitioner who guides East Cedar Dental, Inc., and offers a patient-centered combination of general and cosmetic dentistry. Emphasizing the importance of early oral cancer detection, Dr. Aaron Farrokh recently announced the introduction of Forward Science’s next generation OralID Fluorescence Technology.
With more than 50,000 patients receiving oral cancer diagnoses nationwide each year, the condition is often discovered in its later stages, which results in high mortality rates. With 71 percent of cases discovered in the late stages, five year survival rates for this group are below 50 percent. When abnormalities associated with cancer are discovered much earlier, five year survival rates jump to as high as 90 percent. Periodic checkups and dental care are an essential aspect of preventing oral cancer, with fluorescence technology helping to identify the disease before it can be seen by the naked eye. The OralID screening device Dr. Farrokh employs is part of the ID For Life Program and is undertaken as part of scheduled appointments.
