At Dental Excellence, mouth cancer screenings are provided to patients as part of the practice’s commitment to preventive care.
The team at Dental Excellence is committed to providing patient-centred preventive care, which is why mouth cancer screening is included during all dental examinations and check-ups. As with most cancers, it is imperative that mouth cancer is detected and diagnosed as early as possible, and as dental health professionals, the team here are on the front lines of diagnosis.
During a screening, the mouth will simply be checked for red or white patches, sores, abnormalities, or swellings with gloved fingers. If there is anything that causes concern, the team will discuss this with the patient and if necessary, make arrangements for a follow-up appointment or appropriate referral.
