Oral Cancer Screening and Early Detection

What is done during an oral cancer screening exam?

Your dentist looks closely at your oral tissues and throat and gently examines the mouth and neck for any irregularities. The screening is fast and comfortable.

Why are oral cancer screenings an important safety measure?

Since early oral cancer often goes unnoticed, routine screenings are essential for finding issues when treatment is most effective.

When should you plan to have oral cancer screening done?

Oral cancer screening is typically included twice a year as part of standard dental checkups. Patients with higher risk factors—tobacco use, heavy alcohol intake, or HPV—may need closer monitoring. Call us immediately if mouth sores persist, unusual lumps appear, or numbness occurs.

Technology designed to make exams more effective

Advanced lighting systems and magnification help us carefully examine oral tissues. When appropriate, screening lights can reveal abnormalities not detectable by sight alone.
