The Importance of Oral Cancer Checks
Regular oral cancer checks play a vital role in protecting your long term health. Many early signs of oral cancer can be subtle or painless, making them easy to overlook without a professional exam.
Through a simple, non invasive screening, your dentist can detect unusual changes in the mouth, lips, throat, or tongue before they develop into more serious concerns.
Early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment and helps ensure you maintain a healthy, confident smile. Routine screenings are a small step that can make a life changing difference.

A quick, comfortable exam can identify subtle changes that may not be visible or noticeable at home. By including regular screenings in your dental visits, you take an important step in safeguarding both your smile and overall well being.

1. Health History Review
We begin by discussing your medical background and any symptoms or concerns you may have. This helps us understand your risk factors and tailor the exam to your needs.
2. Visual Examination of the Mouth
Your dentist carefully checks the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and roof and floor of the mouth for unusual spots, discoloration, or changes in texture.
3. Neck and Jaw Assessment
We gently examine the lymph nodes, jawline, and neck area to identify any lumps or swelling that may require further evaluation.
4. Advanced Light or Screening Tools
If needed, special light or detection devices are used to highlight abnormal tissues that may not be visible to the naked eye.
5. Clear Explanation and Next Steps
You will receive a clear summary of the findings. If anything unusual is detected, we will guide you through recommended follow up steps or refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.
