Oral Cancer Screening
What to expect
Oral cancer screening is part of the routine dental exam, and its purpose is to identify changes in the oral tissues at an early stage. The exam makes it possible to detect unusual findings such as lesions, or changes in color or texture, and to monitor them if needed. Early detection enables more precise treatment and helps protect the patient's health.
Who the exam suits
The exam is suitable for all patients as part of a periodic oral exam. It carries particular importance for patients with risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, or a relevant medical history.
What the exam process looks like
The exam is carried out as part of a clinical exam of the oral cavity, and doesn't involve pain or special preparation. The dentist examines the soft tissues, the tongue, gums, inner cheeks, palate, and floor of the mouth. In the case of a suspicious finding, further evaluation or monitoring may be needed, depending on the findings.
