ORAL CANCER SCREENINGS
Early Detection Can Save Lives
At Blissful Dental, your health is our priority—and that includes more than just your teeth and gums. Our team provides thorough oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental visits to help detect any early signs of abnormalities or concerns before they become more serious.
Oral cancer can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and soft tissues of the mouth. Like many cancers, early diagnosis is key to successful treatment. That’s why we take a proactive approach to your health with fast, painless screenings during your exam.
What to Expect During Your Screening
An oral cancer screening is quick, comfortable, and performed right in our office. Our experienced team will visually and physically examine your mouth, jaw, and neck for any unusual changes. During your screening, we look for:
- Red or white patches in the mouth
- Sores or lumps that don’t heal
- Thickened tissue or unexplained swelling
- Persistent hoarseness or difficulty swallowing
- Pain, tenderness, or numbness in the mouth or lips
- If anything looks suspicious, we’ll discuss next steps and may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.
