Oral Cancer Screening: The Essentials
What happens at an oral cancer screening exam?
A visual exam of your lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, and throat is paired with a gentle hands-on check of your mouth and neck. The entire screening is quick and comfortable.
Leading-edge technology supporting better screenings
Using advanced illumination and magnifying tools allows for a clearer view of oral tissues and early changes. Specialized screening lights may also reveal concerns not visible at first glance.
How often do dentists recommend oral cancer screening?
Most patients undergo oral cancer screening every six months during their routine dental visit. If you have higher risk factors such as smoking, alcohol use, or HPV, more frequent checks may be recommended. Reach out promptly if you notice sores that don’t heal, unusual lumps, red or white patches, hoarseness, or numbness.
Techology that improves your exam
We use advanced lighting and magnification to enhance visibility and detect subtle tissue changes. In some cases, special oral screening lights can highlight abnormalities not visible to the naked eye.
