Oral Cancer Screening

Oral Cancer Screening: Your Health Matters

At Bowker Creek Dental Clinic, we prioritize your overall health, and that includes oral cancer screening. This crucial examination involves a careful inspection of your oral cavity and its connected tissues.

 

Visual Examination

Our dentist will conduct a comprehensive visual examination, assessing all major areas of your mouth and face. During this examination, we look for various signs, such as:

• Asymmetries

• Bumps or lumps

• Swellings

• Ulcerations

• Patches of unusual color

• Other abnormalities

 

Physical Examination

In addition to the visual assessment, our dentist will perform a gentle physical examination. This involves palpating areas such as the cheeks, jaw, under the chin, throat, and the head. We aim to detect any unusual masses or nodules that may require further attention.

 

Early Detection Saves Lives

It's essential to understand that if an abnormality is discovered during the examination, it doesn't necessarily mean cancer. However, even if cancer is suspected, early detection and prompt treatment can be life-saving.
