An oral cancer screening is used to detect cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions in the oral cavity. This helps in early detection and treatment of oral cancer before it causes irreversible harm to the mouth and body. At Dental Crown in an Hour, we perform oral cancer screenings as a part of the regular dental checkups conducted for all patients at our clinic.

This helps in early detection and treatment of oral cancer before it causes irreversible harm to the mouth and body. At Dental Crown in an Hour, we perform oral cancer screenings as a part of the regular dental checkups conducted for all patients at our clinic.
During the course of your oral cancer screening, our dental experts will talk to you about the history of your health and will examine your mouth, lips, teeth and throat for any abnormalities. The examination will be performed visually as well as by touching and feeling different areas of the mouth. In case anything suspicious is found, we will perform a simple brush test to take a sample tissue from your mouth and send it to a lab for testing. If the test results are atypical or positive, we may conduct a biopsy.
Symptoms of Oral Cancer
- Red or white patches anywhere in the oral cavity
- A sore or irritation in the mouth that does not go away
- Tenderness, numbness or pain in mouth or lips
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking or moving your tongue or jaw
- A lump, thickening, small eroded area, crust or rough spot
- A change in the way your teeth fit together upon closing your mouth
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above for more than two weeks, we suggest you to schedule an oral cancer screening at a Dental Crown in an Hour clinic location nearest to you.
