Oral cancer screening is an essential part of preventative dental care. In just a few minutes, our experienced dental team performs a comprehensive examination of your mouth, teeth, gums, and oral tissues to identify any abnormalities or potential concerns. These screenings aim to detect early signs of oral cancer, enhancing your chances of successful treatment and reducing the risk of serious complications. It’s a quick and painless procedure that can significantly impact both your oral and overall health.

What to expect? The dentist will first start with a visual screening of your mouth throat, neck and other oral tissues for any signs of abnormalities such as discolouration, swelling or lesions. A physical exam comes next involving palpation of tissues in your mouth and neck to detect irregularities. In some cases x-ray imaging may be used to get a closer look at areas that are not visible to the naked eye. Based on the findings, the dentist will discuss findings and offer guidance on maintaining good oral health.
