Comprehensive Oral Cancer Screening Services
A thorough examination of your mouth, tongue, throat, and neck can help detect early signs of oral cancer - when treatment outcomes are most favourable. At Yorkview Dental, we include oral cancer screening as part of your comprehensive dental checkup.
The process is quick, non-invasive, and completely painless, taking only a few minutes to complete. Our goal is to ensure your ongoing oral health through attentive, preventive care.
What to Expect
During your visit, your dentist will gently examine the soft tissues of your mouth and surrounding areas for any unusual changes, including:
Persistent sores or ulcers that do not heal
Red or white patches on the tongue, cheeks, or gums
Lumps, swelling, or thickened tissue
Unexplained numbness or changes in sensation
If any areas require further attention, we’ll discuss next steps and guide you through the appropriate follow-up care.
Why Screening Matters
Oral cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Regular screenings during dental exams are one of the best ways to ensure potential concerns are detected as soon as possible.
