What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination performed as part of your routine dental check-up. It helps identify early signs of abnormalities in your mouth, tongue, gums, and throat. Our highly trained dental professionals use advanced techniques to assess your oral tissues and detect any suspicious lesions or changes.
Why Is Screening Important?
Oral cancer can develop without obvious symptoms, making regular dental check-ups essential. Risk factors include:
- Smoking and Tobacco Use
- Excessive Alcohol Consumption
- HPV Infection
- Prolonged Sun Exposure (linked to lip cancers)
- Family History of Cancer
Early signs may include:
- Persistent sores or ulcers
- Unexplained lumps or swelling
- Red or white patches in the mouth
- Difficulty swallowing or speaking
Regular check-ups help catch these issues early, even before symptoms appear.
