Oral cancer screenings
Screenings are a natural part of regular dental exams. They help us look for early signs of changes in the tissues of your mouth, including your tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat. Most findings are harmless, but early detection makes a meaningful difference.
The process is gentle, quick, and included in your routine care.
Why screenings matter
Changes in the mouth aren’t always noticeable on your own. A quick check allows us to monitor anything unusual and decide whether further evaluation is needed. Screenings are a simple way to stay proactive and informed about your health.
What the visit is like
We examine the soft tissues of your mouth, check your lymph nodes, and look for any areas that appear different from your last visit. If we notice a change, we explain what it means and outline next steps clearly.
If you’re covered under CDCP, we’ll walk you through your benefits and help you understand how screenings fit within your plan.
We provide direct billing, straightforward estimates, and clear explanations. If follow-up care is needed, we discuss options without pressure.
