An oral cancer screening is performed during each routine dental visit to Birmingham Dentistry. Screenings are a critical precautionary measure taken to identify any progressive signs of early cancer. This allows our dentists to identify symptoms early on for a better survival rate.
During an oral cancer screening, we’ll examine the face, neck, lips, oral cavity, and inside of the nose. Some of the things we’ll look for are:
Swellings
Patches of colors
Bumps
Abnormalities
Ulcerations
Asymmetries
