Oral cancer screening is a vital part of preventive dental care, aimed at detecting early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth. During an oral cancer screening, the dentist carefully examines the lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, throat, and other soft tissues in the mouth for abnormalities such as red or white patches, sores that do not heal, or unusual lumps. The dentist may also feel the jaw, neck, and lymph nodes to check for swelling or tenderness, which could indicate a potential issue. This screening is quick, painless, and can often be performed during a routine dental checkup.
If the dentist identifies any suspicious areas, they may recommend additional diagnostic procedures, such as a biopsy or imaging tests, to confirm or rule out oral cancer. Early detection is critical because oral cancer is more treatable in its initial stages, potentially saving lives. Regular screenings are particularly important for individuals with risk factors like tobacco or alcohol use, a history of oral cancer, or significant sun exposure, which can increase the likelihood of lip cancer. By offering oral cancer screenings, dentists play a crucial role in safeguarding patients’ overall health and ensuring any issues are addressed promptly.
