What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?
An oral cancer screening is a thorough examination aimed at detecting early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. During the screening, our dental experts will:
Visually inspect your lips, tongue, cheeks, floor and roof of the mouth, and throat for any abnormalities such as red or white patches, sores, or swelling.
Palpate the tissues in your mouth and neck to feel for lumps or irregularities.
Utilize advanced tools, such as specialized lights or dyes, to highlight areas of concern that may not be visible to the naked eye.
This non-invasive procedure is quick, painless, and can be completed during your regular dental check-up.
Why Are Oral Cancer Screenings Important?
Oral cancer is a serious condition that can affect various parts of the mouth and throat. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Regular screenings help in:
Identifying cancer at an early stage, when it's most treatable.
Monitoring changes in your oral health over time.
Providing peace of mind through proactive health measures.

Who Should Get Screened?
While everyone can benefit from regular oral cancer screenings, certain factors may increase your risk:
Tobacco Use in Any Form
Smoking or chewing tobacco significantly increases your risk of developing oral cancers, particularly in the lips, tongue, and throat.
Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Heavy alcohol use can irritate the cells in your mouth, making them more susceptible to cancer, especially when combined with tobacco use.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection
Certain strains of HPV, especially HPV-16, are strongly linked to cancers of the oropharynx, including the base of the tongue and tonsils.
Prolonged Sun Exposure to the Lips
Extended exposure to UV rays can increase the risk of lip cancer. Regular use of SPF lip balm is recommended as protection.
A History of Oral Cancer in Your Family
Genetic factors may increase your susceptibility, making regular screenings essential if you have a family history of oral or throat cancers.
