Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral Cancer Screenings

Beverly Heights Dental

Oral cancer screenings are performed to aid dental professionals in detecting mouth cancer. This process allows them to identify potentially harmful lessons, patches, and tissues. If there are things to be concerned about, our oral cancer screening dentist will most likely take a sample of your tissues and send it to an external lab to be examined. This is known as a biopsy.

It’s important to remember that these screenings do not stop cancer from developing; rather, it is simply diagnostic tool used by dentists to assess your oral cavity.

Dentists recommend receiving mouth cancer screening near you periodically, especially for patients who engage in high-risk behaviours like using tobacco and drinking heavily. Individuals diagnosed with cancer in the past are also more likely to develop oral or throat cancer.

To learn more about this process, contact our oral cancer screening dentist. They’ll be able to answer any questions or concerns you have.
