Oral Cancer Screening

Frequently Asked Questions

What is oral cancer screening?
Oral cancer screening involves a comprehensive examination of your mouth, gums, tongue, and throat to identify any signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions. This proactive approach significantly improves the chances of successful treatment through early detection.
Why is oral cancer screening important?
Early detection of oral cancer is vital for improving treatment outcomes and potentially saving lives. Similar to other forms of cancer, identifying oral cancer at an early stage increases the likelihood of successful treatment and reduces the risk of complications.
How is oral cancer screening performed?
At L’s Dental, we utilize cutting-edge technology called OralID for oral cancer screening. This device employs fluorescence technology, using a blue light to visualize any abnormalities in the oral tissues. This quick, non-invasive, and painless procedure can be easily integrated into your regular dental check-up.
Is it complicated to be screened?
Oral cancer screening with OralID is a simple process. The device emits a blue light to help our clinicians identify any abnormalities in the oral tissues, including oral cancer and pre-cancerous lesions. Unlike some other screening methods, OralID is efficient, cost-effective, and easy to use. Additionally, there are no per-patient charges during usage, making it an accessible and convenient option for all our patients.
The Necessity of Oral Screenings
Engaging in lifestyle habits such as smoking and chewing tobacco increases the likelihood of developing oral cancer. Even if you have quit smoking, it is still crucial to undergo annual screenings. These quick and straightforward screenings take just minutes and play a vital role in preventing potential oral health complications. Regardless of your tobacco use history, regular screenings are strongly recommended for proactive oral health management.
Can anyone be screened for oral cancer?
We strongly advise individuals who smoke or use tobacco products to schedule regular screenings as a preventive measure to safeguard their oral health. Additionally, if you have a family history of cancer, scheduling a screening is highly advisable. Despite the brief time spent in our office, these screenings offer significant benefits, providing peace of mind and potentially detecting abnormalities at an early, treatable stage. Most adults are suitable candidates for these screenings, making this proactive step essential for maintaining overall well-being.
How do I get screened for oral cancer?
Initially, our dentist conducts a routine dental examination. They will lift your tongue to inspect the area beneath it, followed by a visual examination of both the interior and exterior of your mouth. This thorough inspection aims to identify any abnormal lesions, bumps, or plaque-like formations that could indicate oral cancer. If any unusual findings are detected, a biopsy may be recommended to determine whether the area is benign or cancerous. While most cancer screenings yield negative results, undergoing them remains crucial for early detection and intervention should a problem arise.
