Oral cancer screening

Screenings are a normal part of your dental exam and help detect early changes that may not be visible or painful yet. The process is quick, gentle, and focused on identifying concerns as early as possible.

What an oral cancer screening supports

• Early detection of lesions or unusual changes
• Monitoring of soft tissues over time
• Better outcomes through early intervention
• Peace of mind during routine care

Why screenings matter

Some early signs of oral cancer can be subtle. Regular screenings help ensure any changes are identified and assessed quickly. Most findings are harmless, but early review helps protect your long-term health.

What happens during a screening

We examine the cheeks, tongue, gums, lips, and roof and floor of the mouth. We look for spots, swelling, or changes in texture and discuss anything we notice. If something needs closer evaluation, we guide you through next steps.
