Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening takes only a few moments but plays a crucial role in early detection. Your dentist examines the soft tissues of your cheeks, tongue, lips, and throat for subtle changes that may not be visible or noticeable to you at home. Most patients barely notice the exam itself — but appreciate the reassurance it provides.
What we look for
We check for:
- Patches or colour changes
- Lumps, bumps, or areas of thickening
- Persistent irritation or ulcers
- Texture changes that stand out from surrounding tissue
If we see anything that requires attention, we explain exactly what we found, why it caught our eye, and what next steps might look like.
Why screening matters
Many early tissue changes are painless and easy to miss. Adding screening to your routine exam ensures potential concerns are identified promptly, giving you peace of mind and supporting your long-term health.
