What to Expect During Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless examination designed to detect abnormalities in the oral tissues. The screening includes:
- Visual Examination: Checking the lips, tongue, gums, throat, and other areas for unusual patches, sores, or discoloration.
- Physical Examination: Feeling for lumps or irregularities in the oral tissues and neck.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Utilizing cutting-edge tools like the Intraoral Camera for enhanced visualization.
If any areas of concern are identified, we will recommend further testing or refer you to a specialist for a definitive diagnosis.
Who Should Get Screened?
Oral cancer screenings are recommended for all adults, particularly those with risk factors such as:
- Tobacco or alcohol use.
- A history of oral cancer or family history of cancer.
- Prolonged sun exposure affecting the lips.
- Persistent oral sores or discomfort.
Even if you don’t have these risk factors, regular screenings as part of your dental checkups can provide valuable peace of mind.
