Oral cancer screening is an important tool in being proactive about not only your oral health, but your overall wellness. At Smile Design Studio, we are dedicated to more than just your smile. We strive to take a holistic approach to your dental care in order to maintain your overall wellbeing.
An oral cancer screening is a screening done during your regular, routine exam. The goal is to target any problems at the earliest stage possible. Just like other types of cancer, oral cancer can be life-threatening. By getting a regular oral cancer screening, we can diagnose early and treat any problems that may appear in the screening.
Our screening process is a simple, quick screening performed by our trained team that involves an examination of the whole oral cavity — not just your teeth. This is done to detect precancerous and cancerous conditions.
The screening test will illuminate the mouth, which will help us identify any areas that may be of concern. After a visual examination of your mouth, we will also feel the tissue of your mouth and throat. By checking the tissue, we can feel for any abnormalities.
If necessary, we will refer you to a specialist for a further evaluation. You are the most important factor when it comes to getting an early diagnosis of oral cancer. By getting routine screenings at our office, you can help us provide you with early treatment and a healthier life.
While all of these symptoms can be signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions, they may also be symptoms caused by less serious problems. It is important to take them seriously and visit our office to rule out the possibility of oral cancer. We have the skills and tools to ensure that any warning signs or oral problems are identified early.
Prevention is one of the best forms of taking a proactive approach to maintaining your oral health. There are many things you can do in addition to getting an oral cancer screening during your regular checkups at our office.
The best way to participate in prevention of oral cancer (and other oral conditions) is to do the following:
