Why Oral Cancer Screenings Matter

Oral cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. A screening from your dentist may be the first step in detecting something serious—before it progresses. Early detection dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.

What We Look for During a Screening

Who Should Get Oral Cancer Screenings?

• Unusual lumps or thick patches in the mouth or throat

• Red or white patches on the tongue, cheeks, or gums

• Sores that don’t heal after two weeks

• Persistent pain, numbness, or difficulty chewing or swallowing

• Changes in your voice or a persistent sore throat

• Swelling of the jaw or unexplained loose teeth

• Everyone benefits from regular screenings, but risk is higher for patients who:

  • Use tobacco (smoking or chewing)

  • Consume alcohol regularly

  • Have HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

  • Have a family history of oral or throat cancer

  • Spend significant time in the sun (linked to lip cancer)

  • Are over age 40

1. Visual Exam – We examine your mouth, lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat for any abnormalities.

2. Physical Exam – We gently feel around your jaw, neck, and oral tissues to check for lumps or swelling.

3. Documentation & Follow-Up – If we notice anything unusual, we’ll explain your options and refer you for further testing if necessary.

The screening is fast, non-invasive, and typically takes just a few minutes during your regular checkup.
