Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection saves lives: Oral cancer screenings for a healthier smile and brighter future.
Understanding Oral Cancer and the Importance of Screening
Oral cancer is a serious condition that can affect the mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues. Early detection through regular screenings is crucial for successful treatment and improved survival rates. Oral cancer screenings are simple, non-invasive procedures performed during routine dental visits. During the screening, your dentist will carefully examine your mouth, gums, tongue, and throat for any signs of abnormalities, such as sores, lumps, or discolorations. Risk factors for oral cancer include tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and prolonged sun exposure to the lips. Regular screenings are particularly important for individuals with these risk factors. By identifying potential issues early, oral cancer screenings can lead to earlier interventions and better outcomes. At Pelham Smiles Family Dentistry, we prioritize your overall health and well-being, offering comprehensive oral cancer screenings as part of our preventive care services. Understanding the importance of these screenings empowers you to take proactive steps in maintaining your oral health and potentially saving your life.
