The Serio Dental Mouth Cancer Screening is a swift, non-invasive procedure we conduct at every consultation to check the mouth and surrounding areas for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions. It’s a crucial step in detecting oral cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage.
Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Oral cancer can progress rapidly, so it’s essential to catch any signs early. Regular screenings can help identify abnormalities before they develop into more severe conditions.
Our experts will conduct a thorough visual examination of your mouth, checking for any lesions, lumps, or irregular tissue changes. We may also palpate the neck and jaw to detect any unusual lumps or swelling. If any concerns arise, additional tests or referrals may be suggested.
We recommend all our patients, especially those at higher risk, to undergo mouth cancer screening at least once a year. However, if you consume tobacco products, drink alcohol excessively, have a history of sun exposure, or have previously had oral cancer, more frequent screenings may be beneficial.
Not at all. The Serio Dental Mouth Cancer Screening is non-invasive and painless. Our trained professionals ensure the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
What happens if an abnormality is detected? If we find any unusual signs or symptoms, we might recommend a biopsy or refer you to a specialist. Remember, detecting a potential issue doesn’t necessarily mean cancer; it simply means further investigation is needed.
Limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding tobacco products, maintaining good oral hygiene, and regular check-ups can reduce your risk. Protecting your lips from excessive sun exposure with an SPF lip balm can also help prevent lip cancer.
