ORAL CANCER SCREENING
At Apex Dentistry, your oral health is our top priority, which is why we offer thorough oral cancer screening as part of our preventive dental care services. Led by Dr. Mojgan Salehi, our experienced team is dedicated to detecting oral cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective, and providing you with the highest standard of care.
The Importance of Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection is key to improving the prognosis and survival rates of oral cancer. During an oral cancer screening, Dr. Salehi and our team carefully examine the oral tissues for any signs or symptoms of abnormal growths, lesions, or other suspicious changes that may indicate the presence of oral cancer. This non-invasive screening procedure is painless, quick, and can be performed during your regular dental check-up appointments.
Signs and Symptoms of Oral Cancer
While some oral cancers may present with noticeable symptoms, others may develop silently, making regular screenings essential. Common signs and symptoms of oral cancer include:
Persistent mouth sores or ulcers that do not heal
Red or white patches in the mouth
Unexplained bleeding or numbness in the mouth
Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
Chronic sore throat or hoarseness
Swelling or lumps in the mouth, neck, or throat
