Aloha all Kane ‘Ohana!

Its No-Shave November

Did you know that the Top 3 cancers for men are Lung, Prostate, and Colon? Early detection is key to thriving and surviving:

First colon cancer screens should be at age 45. Are you overdue?

- Screen options include stool tests, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and CT colonography.

- Blood test for prostate cancer antigens starting at age 55 or if you have symptoms

- Talk to your doctor about frequent urination, weak interrupted flow, discomfort urinating, and blood in your urine.

- Share a family history of cancer with your doctor.

Koolauloa Health Center is always accepting new patients (with and without insurance).

Call 293-9231 for an appointment.

Hope to see you soon! Mahalo.

Happy Halloween! Here are a few common sense Halloween tips from our Dental Department as. your keiki head out to trick-or-treat this evening:

1. Don’t go batty for the candy! Of course, as your Ko’olauloa area dentists, we would prefer you not have so many sugary sweets. The key is moderation.

2. When in doubt throw it out! Make sure your keiki understands that no one eats any candy at all until back home. There it is best to empty your trick-or-treat bag on a table and overlook each piece. Anything that is open, damaged, or just odd looking should be thrown out.

If you have any questions regarding your keiki’s dental health, please call us at (808) 293-9231.

Mahalo and have a safe and fun Halloween!
