Oral cancer screening is a preventive procedure aimed at detecting early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth, throat, and surrounding areas. Early detection of oral cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
At Smiley Dental Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to provide thorough and effective oral cancer screenings.
Our dentist performs a visual examination of your mouth, tongue, gums, and throat, looking for any abnormalities. Advanced tools like special lights or dyes may be used for a more accurate diagnosis.
No, the screening is a painless, non-invasive procedure.
If any abnormalities are detected, a biopsy or further diagnostic tests may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and plan the next steps.
