What is Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening involves a visual and physical examination of the oral cavity and connected tissues. This quick and painless process is designed to identify early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth.
Benefits of Oral Cancer Screening:
- Early Detection: Increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
- Quick and Non-Invasive: Takes only a few minutes during your routine dental visit.
- Potential to Save Lives: Identifies signs of oral cancer before symptoms become apparent.
Screening Process:
- Visual Examination: Checking the face, neck, lips, inside of the nose and oral cavity for any signs of cancer.
- Physical Examination: Feeling the tissues in your mouth to detect any abnormalities or lumps.
If our team at New Hampshire Center for Comprehensive Dentistry detects any signs of oral cancer, they will recommend a biopsy and further diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
