Oral cancer screenings

We understand the importance of early detection in combating oral cancer. Our comprehensive oral cancer screenings are designed to detect signs of oral cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective.

How is an Oral Cancer Screening Done?

During an oral cancer screening, our experienced dental team will thoroughly examine your mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, and throat. We use specialized tools and techniques to carefully inspect for abnormalities or suspicious lesions that may indicate the presence of oral cancer. The screening process is quick, painless, and non-invasive, providing valuable peace of mind for our patients.

What We Look for During Screening

During the oral cancer screening, we pay close attention to various signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of oral cancer, including:

• Unusual lumps, bumps, or swelling in the mouth or throat
• Red or white patches on the oral tissues
• Persistent sores or ulcers that do not heal
• Changes in the texture or color of the oral tissues
• Difficulty swallowing or speaking

Early detection of these warning signs is critical for successful treatment and improved outcomes.

Why Should I Get an Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle. Certain risk factors, such as tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption, may increase your likelihood of developing oral cancer, but it's essential to remember that anyone can be at risk. You can detect potential abnormalities early on by undergoing regular oral cancer screenings, allowing for prompt intervention and improved prognosis.

Your oral health is our top priority, and we are committed to helping you maintain a healthy and cancer-free smile.
