Diagnosing oral cancer as early as possible is vital to successful treatment. Early detection can be lifesaving, which is why we offer oral cancer screenings as part of our preventive care. We use manual and visual screening methods to check all areas of your mouth including your gums, tongue, cheeks, and other soft tissues for any abnormalities. Patients over 40, and those who use tobacco or alcohol products are more susceptible to developing oral cancer, however anyone can be affected, which is why screening is so important.
