The importance of oral health was the focus of Oral Cancer Day in Piacenza, where volunteer doctors from the National Association of Italian Dentists provided free screening visits and information on oral cancer. This annual initiative, now in its eighteenth year, aims to raise awareness of the early diagnosis of oral cancer.
Many residents of Piacenza took advantage of the opportunity to receive a check-up and advice from the dentists present at the event. Salvatore Mazzara, one of the participating dentists, emphasized the importance of not only providing information to the public but also directing individuals to more in-depth screenings if necessary.
Oral Cancer Day is a nationwide event that takes place in various cities across Italy, with the support of organizations like the Red Cross. The event in Piacenza was successful in promoting oral health and encouraging individuals to prioritize their oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
