This simple screening can literally save your life.
🔍 What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?
An oral cancer screening is a visual and physical examination of the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, gums, and neck to detect any signs of abnormal tissue, sores, or growths that may indicate early-stage oral cancer.
The best part? It takes just a few minutes and is completely painless.
🧬 Who Should Get Screened?
We recommend annual oral cancer screenings for all adults, especially if you:
- Smoke or use tobacco
- Drink alcohol frequently
- Have HPV (human papillomavirus)
- Have a history of sun exposure (lip cancer risk)
- Are over the age of 40
Even if you have no symptoms, regular screenings are a critical part of preventive dental care.
⚠️ Symptoms We Look For:
- Persistent sores or ulcers in the mouth
- Red or white patches on the tongue or gums
- Lumps or thickened tissue
- Difficulty swallowing or speaking
- Unexplained bleeding or numbness in the mouth
If we detect anything suspicious, we’ll recommend a biopsy or referral to a specialist for further diagnosis.
