Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is an examination performed by a dentist or doctor to look for precancerous or cancerous conditions in the mouth. This quick and painless process is essential to your dental visits at Thrive Dental & Orthodontics.
Oral cancer typically originates in mouth and lip tissue but can also occur in the gums, tongue, tonsils, throat, cheeks, and salivary glands. During a screening for oral cancer, your dentist looks and feels for patches, sores, and lesions in and around the face, neck, mouth, and glands.
