Early detection of Oral Cancer is very crucial in order to minimize damage. With an oral cancer screening, a patient can be reassured that there is no apparent concern. If there’s any concern, an early treatment can be performed. An oral cancer screening is a visual and physical exam of the oral cavity and connected tissues. We may suggest screening depending on the case or you may request for it as a precautionary measure. Oftentimes, oral cancer symptoms can be painful. But a painless swelling can be a symptom for other dental concerns. It is best to take note that an oral cancer screening is precautionary, not diagnostic. Especially for patients who use tobacco, drink alcohol or practice behaviours that could increase their risk of having oral cancer, we recommend regular screenings. This is the best way for early detection and to prevent severe complications.
