Our Dental care is not only committed for your healthy smile but also to your overall happiness. We apply a healthy approach for your dental care, which consist an oral cancer screening for your routine exam. Oral cancer can be severe if not treated earlier.

We have enough experience and tools to identify early symptoms of oral cancer. While these symptoms may be created by other, not so much serious problems, it became necessary to visit our dental care to abolish the possibility of oral cancer.

The most common symptoms of oral cancer include:

  • Red or white spots or sores in the oral cavity
  • A sore that bleeds and cannot heal
  • Difficulty in chewing and speaking

Our dentist is well trained who will inspect your oral cavity to identify cancerous and precancerous state. Including a visual evaluation of your mouth, we will also feel the tissue of your mouth and throat to identify any irregularity. If we discover an area of problem, we may execute the OralCDx BrushTest, which is a brush test that collects cells from a doubtful wound in the mouth to be forward to a laboratory for review. If test comes back positive, we may suggest a biopsy.

Apart from experiencing an oral cancer screening during your checkup at our dental care, there are many things you can do to stop oral cancer.
