Early Detection Saves Lives 


            In recognition of oral cancer awareness, Dr. Kurt Krause will be offering free oral cancer screenings sponsored by the Oral Cancer Foundation on Friday, November 15th 2013 between the hours of 9am to 6pm at his dental office in Cranford.   According to the Foundation, oral cancer will be diagnosed in an estimated 42,000 Americans this year and will cause approximately 7,500 deaths.  The good news is that it can often be found early in its development, through a simple, painless, and quick screening. Doctor Krause is committed to doing his part to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of this devastating disease.  As with most cancers, early detection dramatically increases the survival rate.   For the third consecutive year, doctor Krause and his staff are proud to be part of the first line of defense against oral cancer by encouraging yearly oral cancer screenings and healthy lifestyles.


            The screening will include helpful information from Lauren Purdy, ShopRite of Clark's registered dietitian, who provides complimentary nutrition services to Clark and the surrounding community.  Lauren is a graduate of Montclair State University who completed her dietetic internship with The Montclair State Dietetic Internship. Lauren’s passion is educating healthier and easy food choices through hands-on demonstration.  Lauren will be available at the screening to discuss dietary and lifestyle changes to improve your health!
