Toms River, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/11/2016 -- This October, Amara Dental located in Toms River joins their sibling offices across New Jersey and Pennsylvania in commemorating Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now through October 31st, Amara Dental located in Toms River will provide free dental health screenings, as well as medication impact evaluations, to patients who are living with a breast cancer diagnosis.
Breast cancer affects one in eight American women. Remission rates for the disease have increased over time; however, it remains that thousands of women in the United States either live with breast cancer or are in remission. Over one-third of people undergoing breast cancer treatment, or treatment for chronic pain that develops after breast cancer treatment, develop oral health complications from chemotherapy and pain medication. The resulting dryness and inflammation can cause pain, compromise gum health and impact other functions like taste, speech and sleep. Additionally, many breast cancer patients experience compromised immune systems.
Breast cancer "Thrivers and Survivors" can access critical dental check-ups at Amara Dental located in Toms River this October. Dentists are able to check for signs of oral infections that may develop as a result of suppressed immune systems. They are also able to recommend prescriptions that will prevent cavities and alleviate symptoms such as pain and inflammation. At Amara Dental located in Toms River, patients will enjoy a comfortable atmosphere, convenient billing and an overall exceptional dentist visit experience.
Amara Dental located in Toms River can be contacted directly for details about their October "Thrivers and Survivors" event as well as other services they offer, at 732-473-1444.
