Early Detection is Your Best Protection
Understanding Oral Cancer Screening
At Access Dental Services, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge that can protect their health. This April, during Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the importance of regular oral cancer screenings – a quick, painless check that could save your life.
Did you know that oral cancer can be highly treatable when caught early? That’s why we include oral cancer screening as part of your regular dental checkups. These screenings are simple, fast, and could make all the difference in early detection and successful treatment.
What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening?
Our thorough screening process takes just a few minutes and is completely painless. During your regular checkup, we carefully examine:
- The inside of your cheeks and lips
- Your tongue and the floor of your mouth
- The roof of your mouth
- Your throat and the area under your jaw
We use special tools and lighting to detect any unusual changes that might need attention. It’s quick, comfortable, and gives you peace of mind.
Taking Care of Your Oral Health
While regular screenings are essential, you can also protect your oral health by:
- Maintaining good oral hygiene
- Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables
- Avoiding tobacco products
- Limiting alcohol consumption
- Using lip protection with SPF
- Being aware of any changes in your mouth
