Oral Cancer Screenings

What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?

An oral cancer screening is an examination done by our highly trained dentists to look for signs of cancer in your mouth.


Oral cancer screenings are necessary because they help to detect signs of cancer within the mouth. The dentist doing the screening will look for signs of white or red patches on the inner cheek areas as well as signs of infection and inflammation. If it is found that you have oral cancer, we can recommend treatment options and refer you to the right professionals.

Benefits of Oral Cancer Screenings 

It is important that you have oral cancer screening done regularly, even if you don’t smoke or use chewing tobacco. Oral cancer can affect anyone, so cancer screenings can help to prevent the cancer from getting worse or progressing into something more sinister. Some of the benefits of having screening done regularly include:

Detect cancer early on so that treatment is more successful

Detect early signs of cancer to prevent it from progressing

Keep up with oral health and hygiene


How Often Should Oral Cancer Screenings Be Done?

It is recommended that oral cancer screening be done once a year, especially if you are a smoker or chew tobacco regularly. However, everyone is susceptible to oral cancer, especially if it runs in your family. For this reason, it’s crucial that you come into the office for regular preventative care, which includes a quick oral cancer screening.
