Oral Cancer Screening

The purpose of an oral cancer screening is to identify early warning signs of mouth cancer. The earlier this is identified, the more effective the treatment becomes. This procedure is conducted during your regular oral health examination. This is why it is crucial to maintain regular visits. Early detection of oral cancer can improve the chances of successful treatment. It is recommended that patients who do not use tobacco products have an oral cancer screening at least once a year, and patients who smoke or use other types of tobacco products should have at least two oral screenings per year.
