Early detection is key to successfully treating oral cancer. Regular screenings can help identify early signs of oral cancer before symptoms become severe. At Desert Springs Dental Care, we provide thorough oral cancer screenings as part of our commitment to your overall health and well-being.
What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?
An oral cancer screening is a simple, non-invasive exam designed to detect abnormal tissues or lesions in the mouth that may indicate cancer or precancerous conditions. The goal is to identify any concerns early when treatment is most effective.
Signs and Symptoms of Oral Cancer
- Persistent sores or ulcers that do not heal
- Red or white patches in the mouth
- Lumps or thickened areas on the lips, tongue, or inside the cheeks
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Numbness in the mouth or lips
- Hoarseness or changes in voice
What to Expect During an Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless process. During your exam, the dentist will:
- Visually inspect your mouth, tongue, gums, and throat for any abnormalities
- Feel for unusual lumps or swelling in the soft tissues of the mouth and neck
- Use advanced screening tools if necessary to detect early signs of cancer
If any suspicious areas are found, additional testing or a biopsy may be recommended for further evaluation.
Who Should Get an Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screenings are recommended for all adults, especially those at higher risk due to:
- Tobacco or alcohol use
- A history of oral cancer or precancerous lesions
- Excessive sun exposure (which increases the risk of lip cancer)
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
