What an oral cancer screening supports
• Early detection of lesions or unusual changes
• Monitoring of soft tissues over time

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.
