About Oral Cancer Screening
If you had any signs of oral cancer would you be able to detect and diagnose it? When it comes to diagnosing oral cancer, it can actually be quite difficult. At Caring Dental Services Pompano, we have the experience, knowledge, and tools needed to properly diagnose oral cancer early, before it has time to progress. Your dentist will look at your gums, cheeks, lips and overall oral health to check for any unusual spots, lesions or risk factors for oral cancer.
Why Oral Cancer Screening?
When diagnosed early, oral cancer survival rates are much better. We recommend oral cancer screening in Pompano Beach along with routine, preventive care to ensure our patients are as healthy as possible. Many patients aren’t diagnosed with oral cancer until the disease has had time to progress and spread; this greatly reduces their risk of survival. By receiving routine, oral cancer screening near you, you can improve your chances of survival through early detection and treatment.
Getting an Oral Cancer Screening
Getting an oral cancer screening in Pompano Beach is actually quite simple and quick. First, a visual examination is performed; your dentist will look at your entire mouth and overall oral health to check for any risk factors. A physical examination is also provided; your dentist will feel around your mouth, lips, neck, and head to check for any unusual spots. In the event any risk factors are noticed, you will be referred to an oral cancer specialist for further testing and treatment.
