Oral cancer can manifest in various ways, and early detection is key to successful treatment. Conducted by our experienced dentist in Peoria and Phoenix, the screening involves a thorough examination of the oral cavity, checking for any unusual lumps, discolorations, or sores.
No pressure. No judgment. Treatment is always your choice.
An oral cancer screening is a quick visual and hands-on check of your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, floor of the mouth and throat for anything unusual, such as sores, patches or lumps. It takes only a few minutes, doesn't hurt, and is often part of your regular dental exam. Finding changes early gives you more options.

While certain lifestyle choices can increase the risk of oral cancer, it can affect anyone. Our Peoria dentist recommends regular screenings as a preventive measure. It's a quick, non-invasive procedure that can potentially save lives, ensuring that any abnormalities are identified and addressed promptly.
Your dentist looks at and gently feels the tissues of your lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, the floor and roof of your mouth, and your throat and neck, checking for sores, color changes or lumps. It is quick and non-invasive.
No. It is a visual and gentle hands-on exam with no needles, and most people barely notice it. It usually takes just a few minutes as part of your exam.
Anyone can develop oral cancer, so screenings are a good idea at regular exams. Tobacco and heavy alcohol use raise risk, but people who use neither can be affected too. Ask your dentist how often is right for you.
Many changes in the mouth turn out to be harmless. If something needs a closer look, your dentist will explain what was seen and what the next step is, which may be a recheck in a short time or a referral to a specialist.
It is commonly done during a comprehensive dental exam. When you book, mention that you would like one and we will make sure it is included.
