Oral Cancer Screening

One of the most important aspects of our exams is oral cancer screening. In this year alone, over 40,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with oral cancer. When found early, oral cancer has a high survival rate; unfortunately most oral cancer is found as late stage cancer without routine exams. When we find an area of concern in a patient’s mouth, we work closely with an oral surgeon who will perform further evaluation in order to determine which treatment may be needed.
