October
is breast cancer awareness month. Dr Elston feels women affected by this
disease “deserve a reason to smile” and would like to show her support of their
courage and struggle by offering 25 free teeth whitening treatments in the
month of October to women who are battling or who have survived this diseased.
The
procedure takes only 20 to 30 minutes with a one week at home follow up. It is not necessary to be a patient at her
office to receive this service. “We want
to create more awareness and help those affected feel good about their smiles.”
You
can contact Alex to get more info or to sign up for the service. Call 892-3200
or email alex.elston@outlook.com.
“In 2014, it is estimated that among
U.S. women there will be:
- 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer (This includes new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors, but not recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors.)
- 62,570 new cases of in situ breast cancer (This includes ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
- 40,000 breast cancer deaths”
In Maine, it is estimated that
between 2006 and 2010, 127 women out of 100,000 were diagnosed with new cases
of breast cancer. In that same time period, the death
rate was 21 women per 100,000.
