Why Oral Cancer Screenings Are So Important
Oral cancer often develops silently and can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat. When caught early, survival rates exceed 85%. Unfortunately, most cases are diagnosed late because symptoms go unnoticed. Common risk factors include:
- Tobacco use (smoking or chewing)
- Frequent alcohol consumption
- HPV (human papillomavirus) infection
- Excessive sun exposure to the lips
- Family history of oral cancer

What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening
Visual Examination
Your dentist examines your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, and the roof and floor of your mouth for any unusual color changes, lumps, or sores.
Digital Imaging
We use intraoral cameras and 3D dental CT scans to capture detailed images of your oral tissues, allowing us to identify abnormalities invisible to the naked eye.
Palpation (Touch Evaluation)
We gently check for firmness, swelling, or tenderness in your neck, jawline, and lymph nodes.
Documentation & Monitoring
If we detect any irregularities, we’ll document them and schedule a follow-up to monitor changes or refer you for biopsy if necessary. This proactive approach means you’ll always know where your oral health stands.
