Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screening at The Urban Dentist is an important component of our dental care approach. We aim at detecting signs of oral cancer in its earliest stages when treatment is most effective.

During an oral cancer screening, the best dentist at The Urban Dentist will carefully examine your mouth, lips, tongue, gums, throat, and other oral tissues for any abnormalities, such as lumps, lesions, or discolorations. We may also use additional screening tools, such as specialized lights or dye solutions, to aid in the detection of suspicious areas.

Early detection of oral cancer is key to successful treatment outcomes. In case of any concerning signs identified during your screening, we will promptly discuss our findings with you and recommend further evaluation or diagnostic tests as needed. Our goal is to provide you with timely and effective care to ensure the best possible outcome.

While certain lifestyle factors, such as tobacco and alcohol use, may increase your risk of developing oral cancer, anyone can be affected that is why we recommend oral cancer screenings for all of our patients, regardless of age or risk factors.
