YOUR
Oral Cancer Screening
Matthew C. Peterson, DMD, PA
ORAL EXAM FOR
Oral Cancer Screening
Your dentist may perform an oral exam during your routine dental visit to screen for oral cancer. Early detection means a greater chance for a cure. During an oral exam, your dentist looks for red or white patches, or mouth sores.
Many people have abnormal sores in their mouths that are usually noncancerous. An oral exam doesn’t determine if a sore is cancerous – so if your dentist finds an unusual sore, a biopsy may be necessary.
