Oral Cancer Screenings
Our practice is not solely focused on your smile; we are equally committed to your complete well-being. We adopt a holistic approach to your dental care, which includes an oral cancer screening as an integral part of your routine examination. Similar to many forms of cancer, oral cancer can be life-threatening if it is not identified and treated in its early stages.
We possess the expertise and tools necessary to ensure that initial signs and symptoms of oral cancer and precancerous conditions are detected. While these symptoms can sometimes stem from other, less severe issues, it is paramount to visit our office to eliminate the possibility of oral cancer. The most prevalent symptoms of oral cancer include:
- Red or white patches or sores anywhere within the oral cavity
- A persistent sore that bleeds easily or fails to heal
- A noticeable lump, thickening, or rough patch of tissue
- Pain, tenderness, or numbness in any part of the mouth or on the lips
- Difficulty with chewing, swallowing, speaking, or moving the jaw or tongue
Our team is proficient in performing a straightforward, rapid screening that involves a thorough examination of your entire oral cavity, extending beyond just your teeth, to identify cancerous and precancerous conditions. In addition to a visual inspection of your mouth, we will also palpate the tissues of your mouth and throat to detect any irregularities. If an area of concern is identified, we may conduct a simple procedure, such as a brush test, to collect cells from the suspicious lesion for laboratory analysis. Should this test yield atypical or positive results, a biopsy may be recommended.
Beyond receiving an oral cancer screening during your visit to our office, there are several proactive measures you can take to help prevent oral cancer:
- The most effective prevention involves avoiding all tobacco products and consuming alcohol only in moderation.
- Maintain a wholesome, balanced diet.
- Minimize your sun exposure and consistently apply UV-A/B-blocking, sun-protective lotions to both your skin and your lips.
