Why Early Detection Matters
Oral cancer is a serious condition, but it is highly treatable when discovered early. Unfortunately, many cases are not diagnosed until the later stages because the early signs are often painless and easy to overlook at home.
The early detection of oral cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery. By integrating these screenings into your regular check-ups, Dr. Hana helps ensure that any abnormalities are identified and addressed as soon as possible. As the old saying goes, "a stitch in time saves nine"—and in this case, a simple check could save a life.
What to Expect During Your Screening
We understand that the word "cancer" can be scary, but the screening process itself is fast, simple, and completely non-invasive. At Vivadent Dental Studio, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure thoroughness without causing you any discomfort.
During your visit, Dr. Hana will perform a comprehensive visual and physical examination, looking for:
- Red or White Patches: Unusual color changes in the tissues of the mouth.
- Sores that Won't Heal: Any ulcer or sore that persists for more than two weeks.
- Lumps or Thickening: Abnormal growths in the cheek, throat, or neck area.
- Difficulty Swallowing: Assessing any persistent issues with chewing or swallowing.
This evaluation is typically completed within minutes as part of your routine preventive dental care appointment.
Who Should Get Screened?
While certain factors increase the risk of developing oral cancer—such as tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and sun exposure—nearly 25% of new cases occur in people with no known risk factors.
Dr. Hana recommends regular screenings for all adult patients. It is a simple, proactive measure that fits seamlessly into your dental hygiene schedule.
