During your oral cancer screening, our team visually examines your lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, throat, and neck for any unusual changes, lumps, or discolored areas. We also feel for any abnormal tissue or swelling. The screening is painless, takes just a few minutes, and is routinely included in your regular dental examination.
Our team performs oral cancer screening during your routine dental visits, typically every six months. However, if you have risk factors such as tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, or a family history of cancer, we may recommend more frequent screening or additional follow-up examinations.
Risk factors include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, sun exposure to lips, certain viral infections, age over 40, and family history of cancer. However, oral cancer can affect anyone regardless of risk factors, which is why our team includes screening as part of routine care for all patients.
If our team identifies any areas that need further evaluation, we will discuss our findings with you and may recommend additional testing or referral to a specialist for further examination. Most concerning findings turn out to be benign, but early evaluation ensures the best possible outcomes if treatment is needed.
Oral cancer screening is typically included as part of routine dental examinations and is usually covered by dental insurance plans. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage to ensure you receive this important preventive service without unexpected costs.
While our team encourages patients to be aware of changes in their mouth, professional screening is essential because trained dental professionals can identify subtle changes that may not be noticeable to patients. We can teach you what to look for during self-examination as a supplement to, but not a replacement for, professional screening.
