Important Facts About Oral Cancer Screening

What should patients know about oral cancer screenings?

We begin with a visual check of your lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, and throat to look for unusual signs. This is followed by a light exam of the mouth and neck. The screening is comfortable and usually over in minutes.

What makes oral cancer screenings a vital part of dental visits?

Oral cancer often develops silently at first. Regular screenings help uncover issues early, when treatment options are most favorable.

What is the ideal frequency for oral cancer screening?

Most people receive oral cancer screenings twice a year during routine exams. Patients with increased risk factors like tobacco use, alcohol misuse, or HPV may benefit from more frequent checks.

Contact us right away if you experience:

  • Lingering mouth sores
  • Lumps or thickened areas
  • Unusual discoloration
  • Ongoing hoarseness
  • Unexplained oral numbness

Smarter technology that improves exam accuracy

Our screening process includes enhanced lighting and magnification to improve detail and detect slight tissue changes. Additional screening lights may reveal areas the naked eye can miss.
