Oral Cancer Screening
Take charge of your health with proactive screenings that support early detection—leading to more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes. Early detection truly makes a difference. At Main Street Dental Care, our oral cancer screenings are an essential part of your preventive care, aimed at identifying potential concerns before they become serious. This quick, non-invasive exam helps our team detect cancerous or precancerous changes in the mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues, greatly improving the chances of successful treatment.
Why Oral Cancer Screening Matters
Oral cancer can develop silently and progress rapidly, which is why routine screenings are so important. When identified early, oral cancer is often treatable with less invasive methods and a higher chance of recovery. Our screenings are performed by trained professionals as part of your regular dental check-up, ensuring any concerns are addressed promptly.
What We Look for During an Oral Cancer Screening
During your appointment, our dental professionals will examine your:
- Lips, gums, and tongue
- Inner cheeks and the roof/floor of the mouth
- Throat and tonsil area
- Jaw, neck, and lymph nodes
- Red or white patches inside the mouth
- Sores or ulcers that haven’t healed within two weeks
- Lumps or thickened areas in the mouth, throat, or neck
- Difficulty swallowing or persistent sore throat
- Hoarseness or changes in voice
- Numbness or unexplained pain in the face, mouth, or neck
Advanced Screening Tools
If any abnormalities are found, we may recommend further diagnostic tools, such as:
- Brush biopsy – to collect cells for analysis
- Fluorescence screening – to highlight suspicious areas not visible to the naked eye
