Testing and Caring For Your Dental Health
Oral cancer affects millions of people worldwide and is easy to detect with regular preventative care appointments at the dental office. With early detection, it is more likely that the cancer will be easy to eradicate and you can prevent future problems due to ignoring the issue.
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.

How Often Should Oral Cancer Screenings Be Done?

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.
