What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?

What to Expect During a Screening

An oral cancer screening is a painless, quick exam in which your dentist checks your mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and jaw for unusual tissue changes or early warning signs of cancer.

An oral cancer screening is a painless, quick exam in which your dentist checks your mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and jaw for unusual tissue changes or early warning signs of cancer.

We look for:

Red or white patches

Unexplained sores or lumps

Thickened areas or rough spots

Difficulty swallowing or speaking

Changes in bite or alignment

If anything looks suspicious, we may recommend further testing or refer you to a specialist for evaluation. Catching abnormalities early often leads to better treatment outcomes.

Who Should Get Screened?

Oral Cancer Doesn’t Discriminate

Adults over 30 (especially over 50)

Tobacco or alcohol users

People with a history of HPV or oral cancer

Patients with prolonged sun exposure (lip cancer risk)

Anyone with family history of oral cancers

Even if you have no risk factors, regular screenings are still important—oral cancer can affect anyone, and early symptoms are often invisible or painless.
