Thorough Screenings
Oral cancer is one of the most serious conditions that can affect your mouth, but its also highly treatable when caught early. At Tatum Point Dentistry, we include thorough oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental exam.
Our dentists carefully examine your lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and gums for any signs of abnormal tissue, persistent sores, or unusual patches that may indicate early warning signs.
Quick & Non-Invasive
Screenings are quick, painless, and non-invasive, yet they provide peace of mind and a critical layer of protection for your health.
Risk factors include tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged sun exposure, and HPV. Regular screenings are especially important if any of these apply to you.
What We Look For
During the screening, Dr. Gonzalez looks for white or red patches, lumps, thickening of tissue, sores that dont heal within two weeks, and any changes in how your teeth fit together. We also check your neck and jaw for unusual lumps or swelling.
If anything looks concerning, we may recommend further testing or a biopsy. Early identification means earlier treatment and significantly better outcomes.
Protecting Your Health
The American Cancer Society estimates over 54,000 new cases of oral cancer each year. When detected in its earliest stages, the five-year survival rate is significantly higher. Thats why routine screenings are so important.
At Tatum Point Dentistry, your health is our priority. We make screenings a standard part of every checkup so you can feel confident that were watching out for your well-being at every visit.
