Early Detection: Regular screenings enable early detection of oral cancer, increasing the chances of successful treatment and survival.

Pain-Free and Quick: Oral cancer screenings are painless and can be completed in just minutes during your routine dental exams.

High-Risk Groups: Certain demographics, such as males, individuals over 60, tobacco users, and heavy drinkers, are at higher risk for oral cancer and benefit greatly from regular screenings.

Gender Disparities: Oral cancer is more prevalent in men, making regular screenings especially critical for male patients.

Lifestyle Factors: Tobacco smoking and heavy alcohol consumption are significant risk factors for oral cancer, emphasizing the importance of screenings for individuals with these habits.

What to Expect During an Oral Cancer Screening:

  • Visual examination of the lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat for signs of abnormalities or lesions.
  • Palpation of oral tissues to detect any lumps, bumps, or changes in texture.
  • Discussion of risk factors and lifestyle habits that may contribute to oral cancer development.
  • Education on oral self-exams and symptoms to watch for between screenings.

The Importance of Regular Oral Cancer Screenings:

  • Early detection saves lives by enabling timely treatment and intervention.
