Oral cancer screenings are a crucial aspect of comprehensive dental care, and we prioritize the early detection of oral cancer to ensure the well-being of our patients. These screenings are essential for identifying any signs or symptoms of oral cancer in its early stages when it is most treatable. Early detection can significantly improve the prognosis and outcome for patients.
During a typical dental check-up at our practice, an oral cancer screening is included as a standard procedure. Dr. Sinan Abdulkadir will thoroughly examine your mouth, tongue, throat and surrounding tissues for any abnormalities, such as lumps, sores or unusual discolorations.
We also take into account your medical history and any risk factors that may make you more susceptible to oral cancer. These risk factors can include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption and exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Regular oral cancer screenings offer peace of mind for our patients, knowing that we are actively monitoring their oral health. If any potential signs of concern are detected, further diagnostic tests or a biopsy may be recommended to confirm or rule out the presence of cancer.
