Self‐reported oral cancer screening by smoking status in <scp>M</scp>aryland: trends over time

Abstract

Between 2002 and 2008, self-reported OCS in the last year increased among former and never smokers, but remained unchanged for current smokers. A visit to a dental professional attenuated the difference in OCS between current and never smokers. Dental visit in the last year was the strongest predictor of OCS.
