Routine Screening at Every Hygiene Visit

This procedure is performed at every hygiene visit to our office. Our knowledgeable team will evaluate both the teeth and tissues of the head, neck, and oral cavity to detect early signs of oral cancer.

Importance of Early Detection

While rare, oral cancer can affect anyone, especially tobacco users. Early detection and treatment are imperative to increase the chance of a positive outcome. We work closely with oral surgeons and pathologists to perform biopsies of suspected oral cancer.
