On Friday, November 13, from 9am to 6pm, Dr. Kurt Krause offers free oral cancer screenings at his dental office at 118 North Ave. West, Suite 101, in Cranford, in recognition of oral cancer awareness. This marks the fifth consecutive year Dr. Krause has offered this service. Oral cancer will be diagnosed in an estimated 43,000 Americans this year and will cause approximately 8,000 deaths. The good news is that it can often be found early in its development through a simple, painless, and quick screening. And as with most cancers, early detection dramatically increases the survival rate. Dr. Krause and his staff are proud to be part of the first line of defense against oral cancer by encouraging yearly screenings as well as educating patients on the risk factors and early signs and symptoms of the disease.  

To make an appointment for a complimentary screening, call Dr. Krause’s office at 908-272-3001. For more information about oral cancer, visit Oralcancer.org.
