What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening?
During your screening, your dentist carefully examines your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, roof of the mouth, throat, and other oral tissues for unusual sores, discoloration, lumps, or other changes that may need further evaluation.
Advanced & Thorough Evaluation
To provide the most complete oral cancer screening, we may also include:
- A gentle examination of your jaw, neck, and nearby lymph nodes
- A review of your medical history and personal risk factors
- Enhanced lighting to help identify unusual tissue changes
Our goal is to detect potential concerns as early as possible, when treatment is most effective and outcomes are often the best.
