Mouth cancer Screening

Home - Treatments - Mouth cancer screening

Oral cancer screening is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a series of tests that orthodontists and dentists conduct to look out for signs of oral cancer or for conditions that may eventually lead to oral cancer.

If there’s a risk of oral cancer, it’s important to catch the precancerous conditions fast before they get worse. According to the American Cancer Society, around 30,000 cases of oral cancer are diagnosed every year and it leads to over 7,000 deaths per year.

That’s why it’s imperative to go for regular oral cancer screening. If your dentist detects any anomaly or abnormal growth in your mouth, they’ll suggest a biopsy or start treatment immediately.
