What is Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancer screening is a simple examination where your dentist checks for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth. It’s a preventive step designed to catch problems early—before they become serious.

This screening typically includes a check of the:

• Lips

• Tongue

• Cheeks

• Gums

• Roof and floor of the mouth

• Throat and neck area

The process takes only a few minutes and is usually done during your routine dental visit.

• Use tobacco or consume alcohol regularly

• Have a history of oral cancer
