Detecting Problems Before They Start
Oral cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Our screenings are designed to identify subtle signs of abnormal tissue, giving you the best chance for early diagnosis and successful treatment.
A Simple Step That Could Save Your Life
Oral cancer screening is quick, non-invasive, and included in your routine dental visit. In just a few minutes, we examine your mouth, tongue, and throat to ensure everything looks healthy and catch anything unusual before it becomes serious.
Who Needs Screening?
Everyone should get screened, especially those with risk factors like tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or a family history of cancer.
How Often Should You Get Screened?
We recommend an annual screening as part of your regular dental checkup unless your risk factors suggest more frequent monitoring.
