Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screenings are a quick, non-invasive way to detect early signs of oral cancer and other abnormalities in the mouth. Performed during your routine dental visit, this screening involves a thorough visual and physical exam of your lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat — helping us catch potential concerns before they become serious health issues. At our practice, we tailor every screening to your unique risk factors. Whether you use tobacco, drink alcohol, have a family history of cancer, or simply want to stay proactive about your health, oral cancer screenings offer valuable insight. Trust our experienced team to provide attentive, compassionate care as we work together to protect your overall well-being.

During your regular dental exam, our team performs a visual and physical examination of your mouth, lips, tongue, and throat. We look for signs such as:

• Red or white patches
• Unusual lumps or swelling
• Sores that don’t heal

If anything looks suspicious, we’ll recommend next steps for further diagnosis.
