    On the Safe Side: 7 Medical Tests All Women Should Know About

    There are plenty of things we should be doing to take care of ourselves, yet somehow, there are many of us who just don't bother. Sometimes because we're simply too busy, but often it's because we're scared of the results. There are some tests that are critical and painless (or relatively so) that can detect things that, if treated relatively early on, can prolong our lives for decades. The tests are simple enough, and knowing the results is nothing short of great power. Here are eight medical tests that Yahoo Health recommends that all women should consider. Please discuss any tests with your doctor or another medical professional beforehand. - By Meredith Carroll

      Dental Screening
      Oral cancer is one of the six most common among adults, and semi-annual dental screenings throughout a lifetime can help detect its presence as well as combat gum and tooth decay. The Oral Cancer Foundation says "historically the death rate associated with this cancer is particularly high not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but due to the cancer being routinely discovered late in its development." Pregnant women as well as smokers and those who take oral contraceptives are more prone to gum inflammation or disease. Depending on the results, the dentist might recommend more frequent visits. less
