Oral cancer screenings are an essential part of any dental check-up, as although this disease is thankfully rare, treatment is much more successful if it's caught early. We may examine your oral tissues using an ultraviolet light, which enables us to detect any changes to the tissues much more easily, and will examine your head and neck to check for any unusual changes.
This type of cancer is often more prevalent in people who have made certain lifestyle choices, such as drinking heavily or smoking. If this is the case then be sure to get regular screenings for oral cancer when you visit us for a check-up.
