Oral cancer screenings are a very important part of a patient’s visit to our office. With the advances in modern technology, we are now able to pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in its evolution. Early detection is vital to treating any issues prior to them becoming a major irreversible problem. We do this by removing a small sample of tissue and sending it to a pathologist for further analysis.
Smoking and heavy drinking significantly increases your risk of oral cancer. If you have unexplained lesions in your mouth, contact our office to set up a consultation.
