What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screenings are simple and painless for patients. One of our dentists will carefully check your face and neck for any tell-tale indications that need further attention, and they will review the mouth as well to determine whether any of the symptoms listed above are present. If we locate any causes of concern, a biopsy will need to be arranged so that the tissue can be tested, and a more solid diagnosis can be procured. Please remember that the earlier oral cancer is located, the better chances are that you will experience a safe and full recovery from the condition with the help of proper treatment.
