At Fortson Dentistry, oral cancer screenings are quick, painless, and part of every routine dental exam. Here’s what to expect:
We carefully examine your mouth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and throat for any unusual tissue changes, discoloration, persistent sores, or lesions that could indicate early signs of cancer.
We gently press and feel the areas around your mouth, neck, and throat to check for any lumps, swelling, or unusual changes that aren’t visible during the visual exam.
We ask if you've noticed any pain, trouble swallowing, or changes in your mouth, such as sores or hoarseness, to better understand your oral health and risk factors.
Early detection is key to successful treatment. That’s why we include oral cancer screenings in every routine dental checkup at Fortson Dentistry.
