Oral cancer refers to cancers that develop in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and throat.
Why is Oral Cancer Screening Important?
Oral cancer screenings help detect signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in their earliest stages when treatment is most effective.
What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening?
During your screening, we will:
- Visually examine your mouth. We’ll carefully check your lips, tongue, cheeks, and oral cavity for abnormalities.
- Palpate your neck and jaw: We’ll feel for any lumps, bumps, or swollen lymph nodes.
- Use advanced technology (if applicable): We may use specialized tools or lights to aid the examination.
Peace of mind starts with early detection. Contact us today!
