🎤 Top Causes of Voice Trouble

🩺 April is Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Month

This national observance serves as a critical reminder of the importance of prevention, early detection, and timely treatment. Many oral, head, and neck cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes and are more treatable when caught early.

✔️ Major Risk Factors – To***co use, excessive alcohol consumption, HPV infection, poor oral hygiene, and excessive sun exposure
✔️ Preventive Measures – Quit to***co, limit alcohol, maintain dental hygiene, get the HPV vaccine, and protect yourself from UV exposure
✔️ Early Detection – Regular screenings and attention to symptoms like persistent mouth sores, difficulty swallowing, or voice changes can be lifesaving
