Early detection of oral cancer can save lives. At Harlem Family Dental, we offer thorough oral cancer screenings to identify signs of cancer at an early and treatable stage.
Importance of Oral Cancer Screenings
Early Detection: Screenings can detect oral cancer in its early stages, significantly improving the chances of successful treatment.
Comprehensive Examination: During a screening, your dentist will examine your mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues for any signs of cancer or precancerous conditions.
Peace of Mind Regular screenings provide peace of mind, knowing that any potential issues can be identified and addressed promptly.
What to Expect During an Oral Cancer Screening
Visual Examination: Your dentist will visually inspect your mouth, including your lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, and the roof and floor of your mouth.
Physical Examination: The dentist will feel for any lumps or irregularities in your neck, head, cheeks, and oral cavity.
Use of Special Tools: In some cases, special lights or dyes may be used to highlight abnormal tissues that might not be visible to the naked eye.
