Oral Cancer Screening
Early Detection Is an Important Part of Preventive Care
Oral cancer screening is a simple but important part of your routine dental visit. At Advanced Dentistry VA, we carefully examine the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues for signs that may need further evaluation.
What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?
We may look for:
- Sores that do not heal
- Red or white patches
- Lumps or thickened areas
- Unexplained tenderness or discomfort
- Changes in the lips, tongue, cheeks, or throat
Why Screening Matters
Early detection can make a significant difference. Many oral health changes are not painful at first, which is why routine screenings are important even if you feel healthy.
Who Should Have Oral Cancer Screenings?
What to Expect
The screening is quick, comfortable, and usually completed during your dental examination.
