Oral cancer screening
An oral cancer screening is a simple, important part of every routine exam. It involves checking the tissues of your mouth, tongue, gums, and throat for any changes that may need attention. The process is quick, comfortable, and designed to catch concerns as early as possible.
Most people don’t notice early signs themselves, which makes regular screenings an essential part of preventive care.
What screenings supports
- Earlier detection of changes
- Greater reassurance during routine visits
- Better long-term health outcomes
- A clearer understanding of your oral health
Why screenings matter
Early detection makes a meaningful difference. Many changes are easier to treat when found early, and regular screenings give us a chance to monitor anything that looks different over time. It’s a preventive step that helps protect your overall health and brings peace of mind.
What happens during a screening
We gently examine your mouth, tissues, and lymph nodes, looking for anything out of the ordinary. If we see changes that should be monitored or investigated further, we’ll walk you through the next steps with clarity and care.
