The Importance of Oral Cancer Screenings During Routine Dental Visits

Early Detection Saves Lives

Oral cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. At Marinaside Dental, oral cancer screenings are an important part of routine dental exams to help protect your long-term health.

What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening

Our Yaletown dentist examines the mouth, tongue, cheeks, throat, and jaw for unusual lumps, sores, or tissue changes. Early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes.

Who Is at Risk?

Risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, HPV exposure, and prolonged sun exposure to the lips. However, oral cancer can affect anyone, making screenings essential for all adults.

Peace of Mind Through Prevention

Routine screenings provide reassurance and allow for prompt referral if anything unusual is found.
