The key is to identify the disease at its earliest stage using Oral Cancer Screenings.
With the help of Oral Cancer Screenings, we are able to detect and identify precancerous oral lesions at their earliest stage. If any abnormalities are found during the screening we ensure to appropriately refer every patient and address their concerns.
Oral cancer screenings are quick, non-invasive procedures performed chairside during your dental visit. The process takes only a few minutes and involves a thorough examination of the soft tissues in your mouth, including your tongue, cheeks, lips, and the floor and roof of your mouth. We discuss the results with you immediately and advise on any next steps if needed. For optimal prevention and early detection, we recommend having an oral cancer screening every 12 months, as part of your routine intraoral examination.
