Why Oral Cancer Screenings Are Important
Oral cancer often develops silently. By the time symptoms appear, it may already be advanced. Regular screenings allow early detection, significantly improving treatment outcomes.
- Recommended for all adults, especially over age 40
- Critical for patients with tobacco or alcohol use, or a family history of oral cancer
- Included as a routine part of your preventive dental care
What We Look for During a Screening
During your screening, Dr. Chuan carefully examines:
- Lips and cheeks
- Gums and tongue
- Roof and floor of the mouth
- Back of the throat
- Jaw and neck
We check for signs such as:
- Persistent sores or ulcers
- Red or white patches
- Difficulty swallowing
- Numbness or unexplained pain
- Lumps, swellings, or thickened tissue
If any abnormal findings are detected, we may recommend additional tests, referrals to specialists, or follow-up imaging to ensure you receive timely care.
