Oral Cancer Screening: An Informative Overview

What can patients expect from an oral cancer screening?

Your dentist checks the visible areas of your mouth and throat for anything unusual and gently examines the tissues of your mouth and neck. The exam is brief and comfortable.

Why are oral cancer screenings considered preventive care?

Oral cancer can begin quietly, without noticeable discomfort. Ongoing screenings help detect problems early, when care is most effective.

When is oral cancer screening typically performed?

Most individuals receive oral cancer screenings every six months during regular dental appointments. Higher risk factors such as smoking, alcohol overuse, or HPV may warrant more frequent exams. Please call us if you experience non-healing sores, thickened tissues, mouth discoloration, ongoing hoarseness, or numbness.

Technology that brings added accuracy to your screening

We use specialized lighting and magnification to sharpen visibility and identify subtle tissue changes. Additional screening lights can sometimes highlight areas the eye alone can’t detect.
