Oral cancer screening involves a thorough examination of the mouth, throat, and neck to detect signs of cancer or precancerous conditions.

Early detection of oral cancer can significantly improve treatment outcomes and increase chances of survival, making regular screenings vital.

Individuals at higher risk, such as smokers or those with a history of cancer, should get screened regularly, along with routine dental visits.

Our screening includes visual examination, palpation of the neck and lymph nodes, and may involve some imaging techniques for better assessment.

Signs may include persistent sores, unusual growths, lumps in the neck, or difficulty swallowing, and should prompt an immediate dental visit.
