A quick check that can save a life
Oral Cancer Screenings
A simple, painless visual and tactile exam included in every routine visit — because oral cancer is far more treatable when it's caught early.
How it works
During every routine exam, we perform a brief, painless oral cancer screening — checking your lips, cheeks, tongue, the floor and roof of your mouth, throat and neck for anything unusual: sores that haven't healed, white or red patches, lumps, or areas of persistent numbness. Most findings turn out to be harmless, but the screening exists precisely because oral cancer is far more treatable when caught early, and it often produces no pain or obvious symptoms in its earliest stages. This quick check takes only a couple of minutes and is included in every routine visit at no additional cost — one of the most valuable few minutes of your entire appointment.
