Oral Cancer Screening: Lifesaving Detection for Your Total Health
Oral cancer is a serious condition, but it is highly treatable when detected in its earliest stages. Because many early symptoms are painless and invisible to the naked eye, a professional screening is an essential part of your routine dental visit. We utilize both visual examinations and advanced diagnostic technology to identify abnormalities early, providing you with the peace of mind that comes from a comprehensive health assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should get an oral cancer screening?
Every adult should be screened at least once a year. It is especially critical for those with a history of tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, or high sun exposure.
Does the screening hurt?
Not at all. It is a simple visual and physical exam where we gently feel the tissues of your mouth, jaw, and neck for any lumps or irregularities.
What are the early warning signs I should look for?
Be on the lookout for sores that don't heal within two weeks, persistent red or white patches, or a feeling that something is "stuck" in your throat.
Are non-smokers at risk for oral cancer?
Yes. While tobacco use is a major risk factor, oral cancer can affect anyone regardless of their habits. This is why regular professional screenings are vital for everyone.
How long does the screening take?
The procedure is very quick, usually taking less than five minutes during your routine examination.
