Age Over 40
Oral cancer risk increases significantly after age 40, making regular screening crucial.
Schedule ScreeningOral cancer affects over 54,000 people annually in North America. When caught early, survival rates exceed 80-90%. When detected at advanced stages, survival drops significantly.
Regular screenings at your dental visits are the most effective prevention tool. Most oral cancers are treatable when found in stages 1-2, before they spread to lymph nodes or other areas.
You may not notice early signs yourself. Our dental team is trained to identify suspicious tissue changes, discoloration, and lesions that warrant further evaluation.

Advanced Oral Cancer Detection
We use the latest technology to augment visual and tactile examinations. Our screening combines years of clinical experience with cutting-edge diagnostic tools.
During each visit, we perform a thorough examination of your lips, tongue, gums, palate, and throat. We look for red or white patches, persistent ulcers, rough areas, or any tissue changes.
If we identify any concerning areas, we may recommend additional imaging or referral to an oral oncologist for biopsy and definitive diagnosis. Early intervention at this stage offers the best outcomes.
