Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer can affect various parts of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat. Many early signs of oral cancer are subtle, often going unnoticed without professional screening. By including screenings as part of your dental check-ups, our team can help identify potential issues before they progress, providing you with the best chance for successful treatment.
During your exam, our dental professionals will carefully examine your mouth, checking for any unusual signs such as:
Red or white patches: Discolorations in the mouth or on the lips may be early indicators.
Sores that don’t heal: Persistent sores or lumps may require further investigation.
Unexplained pain or numbness: Any discomfort or loss of sensation can be a symptom worth examining.
Swelling or thickening: Changes in tissue texture or size are evaluated closely during the screening.
Our goal is to support your health with routine oral cancer screenings to detect issues early.
