Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless exam performed to detect early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, we include oral cancer screenings as part of your comprehensive dental exam. Early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes, making this one of the most important preventive services we offer.
What is it?
An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination performed by a dental professional to detect early signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth, throat, and surrounding tissues.
How it works?
The dentist visually examines your lips, gums, tongue, cheeks, and throat, and may use specialized light or dye to identify abnormal tissue. The entire screening takes only a few minutes.
How it helps?
Early detection of oral cancer dramatically improves treatment outcomes and survival rates. Regular screenings are especially important for patients with risk factors like tobacco use or heavy alcohol consumption.
