A Simple Screening That Could Save Your Life
Oral cancer is a serious condition that can affect areas such as the lips, tongue, throat, and inner cheeks. Every hour, someone in the U.S. loses their life to oral cancer—but early detection can make all the difference. At Emmy Dental, we believe prevention and awareness are the best tools for maintaining lifelong oral and overall health. That’s why we include comprehensive oral cancer screenings as part of our preventive care commitment.
What Happens During a Screening
Screenings are fast, comfortable, and can easily be performed during your regular dental visit.
Visual Check
We carefully examine your lips, tongue, gums, and throat for unusual spots, sores, or patches.
Gentle Palpation
Light pressure is applied to check for lumps, swelling, or changes in tissue texture.
Enhanced Detection Tools
We may use specialized light technology to help identify early abnormalities not visible to the naked eye.
The process only takes a few minutes, but it can have a lasting impact on your health and peace of mind.
Why Early Detection Matters
Catching oral cancer early greatly improves treatment success and recovery outcomes. Regular screenings can:
- Detect cancer before symptoms become severe
- Reduce the need for extensive procedures
- Prevent the disease from spreading
- Offer reassurance for patients with higher risk factors
Quick, simple, and painless—an oral cancer screening is one of the easiest ways to protect your health.
