During your oral cancer screenings, your dentist at Perry Family Dentistry will look for red or white patches or sores inside the mouth. You will also be examined for lumps or other abnormalities in your mouth. Our dentists may also use an oral cancer screening light and an oral exam to screen for oral cancer. In an exam, a light will be shined into your mouth, making healthy tissue appear dark and abnormal tissue appear white. Our dentists will recommend you to an oral surgeon or oncologist for diagnosis and treatment advice if a concern is identified.
