Our team checks more than teeth during every appointment. Oral cancer screenings allow us to spot tissue changes early when treatment is most successful.
Because we serve as your family dentist, we keep detailed notes about your oral health so even subtle differences are easy to notice over time.
During your screening we look for
- Sores or lesions that do not heal quickly.
- Changes in tissue texture, color, or thickness.
- Lumps, bumps, or swelling in the cheeks, lips, or neck.
- Concerns with swallowing, speech, or persistent soreness.
Lifestyle and risk factors
Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, HPV, and family history can increase your risk for oral cancer. We discuss your background and help create a monitoring plan that supports early detection.
Why screenings belong in every visit
- Oral cancers can develop without pain or obvious symptoms.
- Quick screenings protect your long-term wellbeing and complement cosmetic dentistry goals.
- Peace of mind comes from partnering with a dental clinic that knows your history.
- It takes only a few minutes and is included in routine exams.
If we notice anything suspicious, we coordinate closely with specialists so you receive answers fast.
Our team offers bilingual support so every patient understands the next steps with clarity.
