In reality, cancer can strike anybody, and the best defense is scheduling a screening at The Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center, P.A. We offer dental and oral medicine services to the Pine Belt community and we are passionate about keeping patients healthy. In addition to performing an examination on your own mouth every month, you should trust us to provide the care you need.
